软X光多层镜反射率在同步辐射源上的标定

 软X光多层镜反射率标定实验在北京同步辐射装置 上进行，利用BSRF-3W1B 束线及其反射率计靶室(主靶室)标定不同材料的多层镜样品的反射率。多层镜的标定采用波长扫描法，以得到样品反射率随波长变化的曲线。给出了21°-B₄C/Si，21°-B₄C/Mo，10°-Cr/Ti，15°- B₄C/W，10°- B₄C/W以及6.86°-B₄C/W等6块多层镜在50～1 500 eV能段上的反射率标定曲线，并将其与理论计算结果进行比较。结果表明：标定曲线与理论曲线很好地符合。影响标定结果的总不确定度的主要因素是光子能量不确定度，其次是角度不确定度，测量不确定度的影响很小。

波长30.4 nm的He-II谱线是极紫外天文观测中最重要的谱线之一,空间极紫外太阳观测光学系统需要采用多层膜作为反射元件。为此研究了SiC/Mg、B4C/Mg、C/Mg、C/Al、Mo/Si、B4C/Si、SiC/Si、C/Si、Sc/Si等材料组合的多层膜在该波长处的反射性能。基于反射率最大与多层膜带宽最小的设计优化原则,选取了SiC/Mg作为膜系材料。采用直流磁控溅射技术制备了SiC/Mg多层膜,用X射线衍射仪测量了多层膜的周期厚度,用国家同步辐射计量站的反射率计测量了多层膜的反射率,在入射角12°时,实测30.4 nm处的反射率为38.0%。     

Design and Fabrication of Ni/Ti Multilayer for Neutron Supermirror

In the applications of neutron guides and focusing devices, by using the Ni/Ti multilayer supermirrors （SM）, the neutron flux is significantly enhanced, because the critical reflective angle of supermirrors increases m times compared to the one of natural bulk Ni. We design and fabricate the Ni/Ti multilayer supermirrors by considering the effect of the interfacial imperfection, such as interface roughness and diffusion, and by using the direct current magnetron sputtering technology. The reflective performances of these supermirrors are measured on a V14 neutron beam line at the Berlin Neutron Scattering Centre （BENSC）, Germany. The measurement data suggest that the critical angles of the supermirrors are 1.5 and 2.2 times that of bulk Ni, respectively.     

非周期多层膜Kirkpatrick-Baez显微镜成像

从光线传播的角度分析了非周期多层膜Kirkpatrick-Baez(KB)显微镜的成像性能,并与单层膜KB显微镜、周期多层膜KB显微镜进行了对比。与单层膜KB显微镜相比,多层膜KB显微镜提高了工作掠入射角度,在同样分辨力和集光效率要求下具有更大的视场。周期多层膜KB显微镜的反射率和能量分辨本领高于非周期多层膜KB显微镜,但非周期多层膜元件具有较大的角度带宽和均一的反射率,克服了周期多层膜KB显微镜视场范围和像场均匀性的不足。在此基础上,制备了中心角度1.133 0°的非周期多层膜反射镜元件,以8 keV能量的X射线光管为背光源进行了KB显微镜成像实验,实验结果与理论分析一致。

Influence of interface roughness on reflectivity of tungsten/boron-carbide multilayers with variable bi-layer number by X-ray reflection and diffuse scattering

Infuence of interface roughness on the reflectivity of Tungsten/boron-carbide （W/B4C） multilayers varying with bi-layer number, N, is investigated. For W/B4C multilayers with the same design period thickness of 2.5 nm, a real-structure model is used to calculate the variation of reflectivities with N = 50, 100, 150, and 200, respectively. Then, these multilayers are fabricated by a direct current （DC） magnetron sputtering system. Their reflectivity and scattering intensity are measured by an X-ray diffractometer （XRD） working at Cu Kα line. The X-ray reflectivity measurement indicates that the reflectivity is a function of its bi-layer number. The X-ray scattering measured results show that the interface roughness of W/B4C multilayers increases slightly from layer to layer during multilayer growing. The variation of the reflectivity and interface roughness with bi-layer number is accurately explained by the presented realstructure model.

Thinning and polishing of cross-section of depth-graded WSi2 /Si multilayer for linear zone plate application

A linear zone plate named multilayer laue lens (MLL) is fabricated using a depth-graded multilayer structure. The lens shows considerable potential in focusing an X-ray beam into a nanometer scale with high efficiency. In this letter, a depth-graded multilayer consisting of 324 alternating WSi 2 and Si layers with a total thickness of 7.9 μm is deposited based on the thickness sequence according to the demands of the zone plate law. Subsequently, the multilayer sample is sliced and thinned to an ideal depth along the cross-section direction using raw abrasives and diamond lapping. Finally, the cross-section is polished by a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) technique to remove the damages and improve the surface smoothness. The final depth of the MLL is approximately 7 μm with an achieved aspect ratio greater than 400. Results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) indicate that interfaces are sharp, and the multilayer structure remains undamaged after the thinning and polishing processes. The surface roughness achieved is 0.33 nm.

To develop high quality dispersion optics in the X-ray region, the sliced multilayer transmission grating is examined. Dynamical diffraction theory is used to calculate the diffraction property of this volume grating. A WSi 2 /Si multilayer with a d-spacing of 14.3 nm and bi-layer number of 300 is deposited on a superpolished silicon substrate by direct current magnetron sputtering technology. To make the transmission grating, the multilayer is sliced and thinned in the cross-section direction to a depth of 23-25 μm. The diffraction efficiency of the grating is measured at E = 8.05 keV, and the 1st-order efficiency is 19%. The sliced multilayer grating with large aspect ratio and nanometer period can be used for high efficiency and high dispersion optics in the X-ray region.
