Abstract

Term-by-term Fourier-expansion series, each made up of components having element-specific phases and amplitudes acquired with x-ray standing wave measurements on successive orders of Bragg reflections, are used to reconstruct impurity atom distributions in muscovite mica with respect to the (001) lattice without a priori assumptions on their structures.
