Iv. Kozhevnikov et al., SYNTHESIS AND MEASUREMENT OF NORMAL INCIDENCE X-RAY MULTILAYER MIRRORS OPTIMIZED FOR A PHOTON ENERGY OF 390 EV, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 345(3), 1994, pp. 594-603
The problems inherent in the fabrication of short period multilayer mi
rrors are discussed and results of the synthesis of multilayer structu
res with nanometer period are presented. The shortest period observed
is 13 angstrom for W-Si and W-B4C sputtered multilayers. Measurements
of near normal incidence reflectivity at lambda = 31-32 angstrom are p
resented for W-Sc multilayers with a period approximately 16 angstrom.
The measured reflectivity reaches a maximum of 3.3% and is in good ag
reement with theoretical modeling after the inclusion of interfacial r
oughness.
