Va. Chernov et al., X-RAY PERFORMANCE OF MULTILAYER GRATINGS - RECENT ADVANCES AT SSRC, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 405(2-3), 1998, pp. 310-318
In this paper we present the main results at the fabrication, theoreti
cal and experimental studies of X-ray multilayer gratings. The multila
yer grating reflectivity measurements in both hard and soft X-rays wer
e performed. The features observed in these experimental data are iden
tified and interpreted by means of numerical simulation method of eige
nvectors. The effects of diffuse X-ray scattering from Ni/C multilayer
and Ni/C multilayer grating have been investigated. Novel aspects of
polychromatic optics based on the application of the multilayer gratin
g in hard X-rays are discussed.
