Abstract

The reflection coefficient and microstructure of Mo/Be multilayer mirrors were studied as functions of Γ, the ratio of the Mo layer thickness to the period d_p. The thickness and period of the layers were studied using X‑ray diffraction (wavelength 0.154 nm). Clearly defined high-intensity Bragg reflection peaks indicate good reproducibility of layer thicknesses over the depth of the multilayer structure and high quality of interfaces. The reflectivity of the mirror at a wavelength of 11.4 nm was maximum 62% at Γ = 0.42. It sharply decreased at higher and lower values of Γ. Both Mo and Be layers at Γ = 0.42 were polycrystals, which were studied using X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, respectively. It was also found that the sizes of crystallites almost coincided with the thicknesses of the Be and Mo layers in the period.

Keywords
