Abstract:
The paper proposes the use of diamond-carbide-silicon composite “Skeleton” $\circledR$ coated with amorphous silicon as substrates for multilayer X-ray mirrors for powerful synchrotron radiation sources (3+ and 4th generation). The surfaces with the following parameters were obtained using standard deep polishing methods: flatness at the level of RMS$_{90\%}$ = 54.2 nm; effective roughness $\sigma_{\mathrm{eff}}$$\sim$ 1.0 nm; high-frequency roughness $\sigma_{2\times2}$$\sim$ 0.1 nm.
Keywords:X-ray optics, X-ray mirrors, substrates for X-ray mirrors, roughness.
