  • In-situ ion polishing of individual layers using an Ar(+) ion beam after deposition.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully produced C/Ti multilayers with controlled period thicknesses.
    • Demonstrated significant enhancement in interface smoothness due to Ar(+) ion polishing.
    • Achieved a reflectance of approximately 11% at 2.77 nm wavelength for a multilayer with 85 bilayers at a 59-degree angle of incidence.

    Conclusions:

    • C/Ti multilayers are suitable for soft-x-ray mirror applications in the water window.
    • Interface smoothing via ion polishing is critical for enhancing mirror performance.
    • The achieved reflectance demonstrates the potential of this technique for advanced optical applications.
