The HREM investigation, using a cross-section technique, has shown interesting results, in that the Ni layers contained nanocrystalized particles. A diffraction pattern from such a sample revealed superlattice Bragg diffraction of the multilayer structure, the (110) diffraction pattern of the silicon substrate and diffuse rings of the amorphous carbon. No rings were observed for the crystalline Ni. Graded d-spacing multilayers were also investigated. The same preparation technique, used for HREM analysis, was employed for the AFM, not to study the surface of the multilayers but in order to make further characterization of the interface roughness of the multilayers.

Roughness is generally more important for multilayer mirrors than for total reflection mirrors, because multilayers operate at higher momentum transfer than total reflection mirrors, where the effects of roughness are more severe. As the multilayer period decreases, the effects of roughness increase, so that roughness is generally expected to play a significant role in limiting reflectance in the small d-spacing limit. Roughness in multilayers can originate from microstructural defects within the multilayer, or from propagation of roughness from the substrate into the multilayer. In any case, complete understanding of the roughness in multilayers cannot be obtained without first understanding the roughness spectrum ofthe substrates on which the multilayers are grown.","PeriodicalId":164371,"journal":{"name":"Physics of X-Ray Multilayer Structures","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130991450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In general, the structure at the interfaces depends on the microstructure inside the layers, and on the interactions between the layer materials. Presumably, in systems in which the components do not react with each other, such as Ru/C and Ge/C, minimum intermixing and diffusion should allow relatively sharp and well-defined interfaces. For this reason, the germanium and carbon pair is studied as a potential candidate for the x-ray multilayer mirrors. Some early materials studies showed that no compounds of Ge and C were detected up to 3170 °C [1]. Early measurements also indicated virtual insolubility of C in Ge, or Ge in graphite [2]. These materials science properties suggest that Ge/C may be able to form sharp multilayer interfaces and hence may provide significant specular x-ray reflectance, especially at wavelengths just above the carbon K edge (4.4 nm), where interfacial microstructure and morphology play a critical role in the determination of reflectivity. In this paper, we present results from a systematic study of the microstructure, stress, and optical properties of as-prepared and annealed Ge/C multilayers having periods and relative individual layer thicknesses typical for soft x-ray applications.","PeriodicalId":164371,"journal":{"name":"Physics of X-Ray Multilayer Structures","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116176784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the reflectivity measurements are insensitive to the crystal structure of the layers; the scattered intensity for multilayers occurs predominantly from the interfaces. It is this sensitivity to the interfacial structure that makes reflectivity measurements complementary to diffraction4 for characterizing multilayers. Nb/Si multilayers provides an instructive case because extremely smooth, as will as conformal and cumulative roughness cases can be realized by adjusting the sputtering conditions.5 We will discuss the quantitative analysis of the specular reflectivity from a series of Nb/Si multilayers sputtered at various Ar pressures. The multilayers were grown by dc magnetron sputtering onto sapphire substrates at ambient temperatures. The target-substrate distance was fixed at 9 cm and the Argon sputtering pressure was varied from 3 to 15 mTorr. This spans the range from high kinetic energy to nearly thermalized deposited atoms. The expected pressure for thermalization is ≈9 mTorr.","PeriodicalId":164371,"journal":{"name":"Physics of X-Ray Multilayer Structures","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123956157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
