Multilayer-based soft X-ray polarimeter at the Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility

A compact high precision eight-axis automatism and two-axis manual soft-ray polarimeter with a multilayer has been designed, constructed, and installed in 3W1B at the Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility (BSRF). Four operational modes in the same device, which are double-reflection, double-transmission, front-reflection-behind-transmission and front-transmission-behind-reflection, have been realized. It can be used for the polarization analysis of synchrotron radiation. It also can be used to characterize the polarization properties of the optical elements in the soft X-ray energy range. Some experiments with Mo/Si and Cr/C multilayers have been performed by using this polarimeter with good results obtained.     

Measurement of the polarization for soft X-ray magnetic circular dichroism at the BSRF beamline 4B7B

Three ultra-short-period W/B₄C multilayers （1.244 nm, 1.235 nm and 1.034 nm） have been fabricated and used for polarization measurement at the 4B7B Beamline at the Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility （BSRF）. By using the rotating analyzer ellipsometry method, the linear polarization degree of light emerging from this beamline has been measured and the circular polarization evaluated for 700-860 eV. The first soft X-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements are carried out at BSRF by positioning the beamline aperture out of the plane of the electron storage ring.     

High Spectral Resolution Mo/Si Multilayers Working at High Order Reflection

The high reflectance orders are used to improve the spectral resolution of Mo/Si multilayers. The multilayers for the first-, second- and third-order reflectance are designed and optimized, respectively. These multilayers are fabricated by using a directed current magnetron sputtering system, and the reflectivity is measured in an extreme ultraviolet range by synchrotron radiation. The experimental results show that the spectral resolution λ/Δλ（λ= 14 nm） increases from 24.6 for the first order to 66.6 for the third order.     

Small d-spacing WSi2/Si multilayers for X-ray monochromators

A WSi2 /Si multilayer, with 300 bi-layers and a 2.18-nm d-spacing, is designed for X-ray monochroma-tor application. The multilayer is deposited using direct current magnetron sputtering technology. The reflectivity of the 1st-order Bragg peak measured at E = 8.05 keV is 38%, and the angular resolution (Δθ/θ) is less than 1.0%. Fitting results of the reflectivity curve indicate a layer thickness drift of 1.6%, mainly accounting for the broadening of the Bragg peaks. The layer morphology is further characterized by transmission electron microscopy, and a well-ordered multilayer structure with sharp interfaces is observed from the substrate to the surface. The material combination of WSi2 /Si is a promising candidate for the fabrication of a high-resolution multilayer monochromator in the hard X-ray region.
