NANOSCALE MULTILAYERS AS OPTICAL ELEMENTS FOR THE X-RAY OPTICS

Synthetic multilayer mirrors made up of alternating layers of highly reflective and highly transmissive materials have important uses such as for X-ray spectroscopy etc. In particular, a demand for mirrors in the short-wavelength region arose from the development of ever smaller electronic components by using a photolithographic process. Here, the resolution is limited by the wavelength of light. Hard X-ray applications require a high efficiency multilayer interference structure with a small period, imposing strong demands on the quality of the constituent layers. From the viewpoint of both technology and optical properties, the tungsten/carbon combination is one of the best for X-ray radiation. Both these elements exhibit different phases, which allows for a further parameters variation.
