Abstract:
The transmission of a thin film of synthetic diamond was measured at various wavelengths in the extreme ultraviolet. The measurements agree with a prediction based on published carbon attenuation coefficients assuming the density of natural diamond. A betterfit to the data results when an additional approximately 200-A layer of silicon is included in the model. It is believed that this silicon layer exists as silicon carbide.
