Achieving the highest possible reflectivity of X-ray mirrors is essential for maximizing the temporal resolution of such experiments. It was shown that Cr/V mirrors exhibit large interfacial transition zones (arising at layer boundaries due to intermixing and chemical interactions between materials), which reduce the reflectivity of the mirror.
