Resonant reflectivity
X-ray reflectivity experiments can be performed near the resonant absorption edge of one of the elements in the multi-layer stack, thereby highlighting the contribution of this species/layer. More generally, multiple reflectivity experiments at different x-ray energies can be used to disambiguated the distribution of different elements.
