Abstract
The deposition and X-ray performance of multilayer structures with d-spacings ranging from 1.2nm to 3.5nm has been presented. Different pairs of materials such as W (Mo, Ni, Cr, and La)/B4C, Ni (Cr, Co, V)/C have been considered. X-ray reflectivity of the multilayers has been measured in the photon energy range from ~0.18keV to ~100keV. W/B4C structures with d~1.5nm showed reflectivity greater than 30% at Cu-Kα (E~8keV). Performance of a W/B4C structure with d~1.5nm has been compared with TIAP crystal performance in analysis of Si-Kα (1.74keV), Al-Kα (1.5keV), Mg-Kα (1.25keV) and Na-Kα (1.04keV) radiation. Results showed that small d-spacing multilayers can be considered for TIAP crystal replacement in Wavelength Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometers. The absolute reflectivity of near normal incidence structures at O-Kα (~293eV), C-Kα (~277eV) and B-Kα (~183eV) radiation lines has been measured to be ~1.5%, 14% and 43% respectively with spectral resolution of up to ~0.6%.
