X-ray reflection from novel multilayers with variable smoothness and figure. Technical progress report, 1 April 1984-31 March 1985

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7152902
During the period of this contract we have etched grooves with a 1:184 aspect ratio in silicon substrates, and we have bent them cylindrically by oxidation. In addition, we have constructed an optical test bed and measured the radius of curvature and smoothness of various substrates. Several industries have given us vacuum coating systems and three of them are not functional. Our computer codes have been upgraded and used to predict the reflectance of multilayers reported in the literature. We have derived the mathematical relationship between the matrix and iterative formulations of multilayer reflectance. We have measured the density of some of the materials used in thin layers, and will use this together with a computerized data base of atomic scattering factors to refine our calculations.
