abstract = {Neutron specular reflectivity at soft interfaces provides
sub-nanometre information concerning the molecular
distribution of thin films, while the application of
contrast variation can highlight the scattering from
different parts of the system and lead to an overall
reduction in fitting ambiguity. Traditional modelling
approaches involve the construction of a trial scattering
length density profile based on initial speculation and the
subsequent refinement of its parameters through minimization
of the discrepancy between the calculated and measured
reflectivity. In practice this might produce an artificial
bias towards specific sets of solutions. On the other hand,
direct inversion of reflectivity data, despite its ability
to provide a unique solution, is subject to limitations and
experimental complications. Presented here is an integrated
indirect Fourier transform/simulated annealing method that,
when applied to multiple solvent contrast reflectivity data
and within the limits of finite spatial resolution, leads to
reliable reconstructions of the interfacial structure
without the need for any a priori assumptions. The
generality of the method permits its straightforward
application in common experimental contrast-variation
investigations at the solid/liquid and air/liquid
interface.},
