High-energy electron diffraction has been used to obtain reduced density functions from multilayered thin films. Due to the very nature of the experiment, only interatomic correlations perpendicular to the incoming electron beam are responsible for the scattered intensity. This allows an investigation of the interface interdiffusion of inner surfaces. Since no specimen preparation is needed, the technique is uninfluenced by preparation artefacts. We describe the theory and the experimental requirements for the application of this method and present results obtained for a terbium/iron multilayer film.
