By methods of hard X-ray diffraction (λ = 0.154 nm), cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy and soft X-ray (λ = 25-50 nm) reflectometry the barrier characteristics of tungsten layers of tW = 0.1-2.1 nm thick in Sc/W/Si multilayer X-ray mirrors (MXMs) fabricated with DC magnetron sputtering are studied. Tungsten layers of 0.6-0.8 nm thick are shown to separate Sc and Si layers and prevent formation of ScSi intermixed zones. Tungsten interacts with silicon forming thinner silicide layers in comparison with original ScSi interlayers in Sc/Si MXMs without barriers. Barrier layers are not continuous at tW < 0.5 nm when deposited on Sc layers. Introduction of W-layers 0.3-0.8 nm thick increases reflectivity (λ ≈ 38 nm) of Sc/W/Si MXMs at least by factor of 2.5 maximizing at R ≈ 25 % at normal incidence (α = 5°). Further improvements in technology and reflectivity are discussed. |
