Abstract

The corrosion mechanisms in Mg/SiC multilayers have been elucidated and corrosion-resistant Mg/SiC multilayer coatings have been demonstrated using spontaneously intermixed Al-Mg corrosion barrier layers. The corrosion-resistant Mg/SiC multilayers can achieve high reflectance simultaneously in up to three narrow wavelength bands within the 25-80 nm wavelength region, making them attractive candidates for solar physics instrumentation and for other applications.
