Abstract
We present experimental neutron reflectivity results showing that it is pos sible to use V-Ni multilayered systems as cold neutron monochromators and s upermirrors. Compared to the Ni-Ti optics devices, the V-Ni stacks present sharp interfaces characterised by a low interfacial roughness and very smal l interfacial diffusion. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
