The results of a study of the structural and reflective characteristics of short-period multilayer X-ray mirrors based on Mo/B4C at wavelengths 1.54 Å, 9.89 Å and 17.59 Å are presented. The period of the samples varied in the range 8–35 Å. The average widths of the interfaces were ∼3.5 and 2.2 Å at one and the other boundaries, with a tendency for weak growth with any decrease in the period. The interlayer roughness was ∼1 Å. The research results indicate promising prospects for the use of multilayer Mo/B4C mirrors for synchrotron applications.
1. Introduction
X-ray multilayer mirrors (MLMs) are used in various fields of science and technology, such as solar astronomy, X-ray lithography, X-ray microscopy and spectroscopy (Martínez-Galarce et al., 2013; Chkhalo & Salashchenko, 2013; Akhsakhalyan et al., 2017; Fogelqvist et al., 2017). One of the important practical applications of X-ray multilayer mirrors is monochromatization and nanofocusing systems at synchrotron radiation stations (Rashchenko et al., 2020; Morawe, 2019; Morawe et al., 2017; Sawhney et al., 2011; Chkhalo, Garakhin, Malyshev et al., 2022; Mimura et al., 2010; Yumoto et al., 2022; Koyama et al., 2022). The possibility of enabling the mirror to intercept as much of the synchrotron radiation beam as possible is one of the aspects that must be taken into account when developing reflective elements for such applications. To solve this problem it is necessary to increase the size of the mirror or the range of operating angles, which, in accordance with the Bragg condition, leads to the need to reduce the period of the MLM.
Another aspect of the use of multilayer mirrors is related to their spectral selectivity. Beams with a monochromatization level of 0.3–1% are sufficient in a number of X-ray diffraction problems (Leake et al., 2019). In this case, the use of MLMs increases the intensity of the probe beam by two orders of magnitude compared with single crystals.
The third aspect is related to the increase in photon energy available at the latest generation of synchrotrons. To maintain the efficiency of collecting radiation from the source, the wavelength shortening automatically requires a reduction in the periods of the MLM.
All these aspects make it relevant to undertake new and additional studies of the currently known types of multilayer mirrors with short and ultrashort periods.
The most versatile and widely used short-period MLMs are mirrors based on a pair of W/B4C materials (Walton, 1997; Windt et al., 2002; Pradhan et al., 2018; Bibishkin et al., 2005). The disadvantages of these mirrors are the insufficiently high (∼1%) spectral selectivity and a sharp increase in interlayer roughness due to the loss of W film continuity at periods shorter than 1.3 nm (Vainer et al., 2006). Therefore, the search for alternative pairs of materials for the synthesis of short-period structures is extremely important. Theoretical calculations show that a promising pair of materials for this problem is Mo/B4C.
The reflective characteristics of Mo/B4C X-ray multilayer mirrors in the soft X-ray wavelength range have been studied and data on the thermal stability of structures at temperatures up to 600°C are given (Barthelmess & Bajt, 2011a,b; Zhu et al., 2020; Choueikani et al., 2013; Niibe et al., 2002; Jankowski & Perry, 1991). In synchrotron studies, Mo/B4C MLMs have been used for X-ray monochromatization in the photon energy range 6–15 keV (Liu et al., 2009). However, due to their rather large period, of more than 3 nm, the spectral selectivity of the mirrors was worse than 1%.
It is possible to increase the spectral selectivity of an MLM by shortening the period. However, Mo/B4C MLMs with ultrashort periods have not yet been sufficiently studied. In particular, the work of Andreev et al. (2003) should be noted, where the reflective characteristics of Mo/B4C MLMs with ultrashort periods of 1.22–2.09 nm in the soft X-ray range were studied. At a period of d = 1.22 nm at a wavelength of 0.834 nm, a reflection coefficient of 1.95% was obtained. However, the reflection coefficients in the hard X-ray range have not been studied. Neither have studies previously been undertaken of the internal structure, knowledge of which would make it possible to predict the X-ray optical characteristics of such mirrors in a wide range of photon energies.
This article presents the results of a systematic study of the reflective and structural characteristics of Mo/B4C multilayer mirrors with periods from 35 to 8 Å. Using laboratory and synchrotron X-ray reflectometry of specular reflection and diffuse scattering, the electron density profiles of materials in these MLMs, their interface widths and interlayer roughness were determined. The data obtained will make it possible to reliably predict their X-ray reflection coefficients across a wide range of photon energies.
2. Experimental methods
Synthesis of the multilayer Mo/B4C structures was carried out by magnetron sputtering on the facility described by Zabrodin et al. (2013). Before the technological process began, the pressure of the residual gases in the chamber was at a level of 10−7 mbar. High-purity (99.998%) argon was used as the working gas with a pressure of 9 × 10−4 mbar. The magnetrons were powered by sources of stabilized current of our own design. During deposition, the voltages were 296 V for Mo and 267 V for B4C, the currents were 200 mA for Mo and 1200 mA for B4C. Accordingly, the film growth rates were 0.18 nm s−1 for Mo and 0.56 nm s−1 for B4C. The Mo/B4C multilayer mirrors were sputtered on round Si substrates with a diameter of 100 mm and effective roughness of 3 Å in the spatial frequency range 0.025–64 µm−1.
The dependences of the reflection and scattering coefficients on the grazing angle of radiation at a wavelength of 1.54 Å were measured using a laboratory high-resolution four-crystal diffractometer PANalitycal X'Pert Pro. Similar measurements were carried out at the PHASE station of the Kurchatov specialized source of synchrotron radiation KISI-Kurchatov (Chernyshov et al., 2009; Senin et al., 2017). The operating radiation energy range of this station is 3.5–50 keV. The station is equipped with a two-crystal monochromator providing an energy resolution of ΔE/E = 5 × 10−4.
Measurements at wavelengths of 17.59 Å (Fe Lα) and 9.89 Å (Mg Kα) were carried out on another laboratory reflectometer with a grating grazing-incidence monochromator spectrometer. More details about the reflectometer are given by Bibishkin et al. (2004).
The structural parameters of the samples (period, layer thicknesses, interlayer roughness, electron density profile) were determined by simultaneously fitting the reflection curves at wavelengths of 1.54, 9.89 and 17.59 Å using the Multifitting program (Svechnikov et al., 2017; Svechnikov, 2020).
3. Experimental results obtained using laboratory methods
In the framework of the experiments, nine Mo/B4C MLMs were synthesized with periods ranging from 8 to 35 Å. The number of layers in each mirror was chosen so that the total thickness of all samples remained unchanged. The proportion of molybdenum in the period was 0.45–0.5.
At the first stage, the angular dependences of the reflection coefficient at wavelengths of 1.54, 9.89 and 17.59 Å were measured and the experimental data were fitted for all samples. In Fig. 1 the black curves with dots show the experimental data and the red curves show the results of fitting for the RS-154 sample. The structural parameters determined in this way for all samples are shown in Table 1. The electron density profiles are shown in Fig. 2. The dependence of the interface width on the period of the structure is shown in Fig. 3 (two upper curves). It should be noted that reflectometry does not allow one to unambiguously determine which interface, in our case Mo-on-B4C or B4C-on-Mo, corresponds to the values obtained as a result of fitting. However, based on Svechnikov et al. (2018), where the effect of various interlayers, including B4C, on the Mo/Be interfaces of MLMs was studied, it can be assumed that the Mo-on-B4C interface is more extended.

Interface formation is affected by several mechanisms, the main of which are growth roughness and mutual mixing of materials, primarily due to the ballistic effect of the introduction of atoms with high energies (a few to tens of eV) of the condensate entering the film, as well as diffusion enhanced by chemical interaction. It is possible to influence one or other of these mechanism to affect interface formation by varying the parameters of the technological process involved in the growth of the MLM. Therefore, it is important to separate the contributions of growth roughness and of material mixing to the total interface width in order to optimize the MLM growth processes. Thus, it makes sense to apply methods of ion polishing of the layers (Spiller, 1989) in the case of a predominance of roughness in the structure. Correspondingly, in the case of a prevalence of diffusion processes, there is an effective way of reducing this by using barrier layers and optimizing the energy of the atoms of condensate entering the substrate (Polkovnikov et al., 2022).
In order to separate the contributions of the above effects, the method of measuring the diffuse X-ray scattering curves was used, because the interlayer roughness is responsible for scattering, while mixing leads to only a slight decrease in the intensity of the scattered radiation due to a decrease in the electron density jump at the boundaries. Within the framework of this approach, after measuring the specular reflection curves at a wavelength of λ = 1.54 Å, we measured the rocking curves obtained as follows: the sample and the detector were rotated relative to a stationary radiation source by an angle corresponding to the first Bragg peak, after which the reflection coefficient was measured at various sample rotation angles. The detector position remained fixed in this case. This type of measurement makes it possible to detect radiation scattered over a wide range of angles, since, for all angles of radiation incidence on the sample, the condition of constructive interference is satisfied: sinϑin + sinϑsc ≃ 2sinϑBr, where ϑin is the grazing angle of incidence on the sample, ϑsc is the angle between the scattered beam and sample plane, and ϑBr is the The measured diffuse scattering curves and their fittings for all samples are shown in Fig. 4.
A linear growth model was chosen (Asadchikov et al., 2001; Bass, 1995) to calculate the roughness of the boundaries, where the power spectral density (PSD) function of the interfaces is partially inherited from the previous ones, and partially replaced by a growth model (Stearns, 1993),
where PSDsub(ν) corresponds to the substrate, exp[−b(ν)h] is the inheritance factor, Ω is the volume of the deposited particle (atom, molecule or cluster), h is the film thickness and b(ν) is the function of surface relaxation, which is represented as a polynomial in powers of spatial frequency: b(ν) = . The ABC model (Bass, 1995) was chosen as the model describing the PSD function of the substrate. A PSD function of a substrate in this case is described by the formula
where σ is the total RMS substrate roughness height, α is the fractal dimension, determining the rate at which the spectrum decays into the high-frequency region, and ξ is the cross (transverse, along the layer) correlation length. Longitudinal correlation (in the direction perpendicular to the layer) L was calculated from the function of surface relaxation: L = b(ν)−1.
The value of the roughness of layers was obtained by integrating the PSD function in a given range of spatial frequencies, which was determined from the condition 2πν = k(cosϑ0 − cosϑ), where ν is the spatial frequency value, ϑ0 is the angle corresponding to the specular reflection, ϑ is the scattering angle and k is the wavevector. The value of the scattering angle close to the Bragg peak was chosen to obtain the lower boundary of integration while the value corresponding to the angle of maximum scattering was chosen to obtain the upper boundary. Table 2 shows statistical properties of the roughness of Mo/B4C MLMs reconstructed from diffuse scattering data.

In Fig. 3 the curve marked with triangles shows the dependence of the roughness on the MLM period, obtained with allowance for the analysis of diffuse scattering and specular reflection. Despite a noticeable scatter of experimental data from sample to sample, most likely caused by errors in solving the inverse problem, nevertheless, certain conclusions can be drawn about the structural parameters and their changes with a decrease in the period of the Mo/B4C MLM. It can be argued that the average interface width at the Mo-on-B4C boundary was ∼3.5 Å and at the B4C-on-Mo boundary was ∼2.2 Å. The interlayer roughness was ∼1 Å. A weak growth of interfaces widths and interlayer roughness with the period decrease is observed. The length of the transverse correlation of roughness is determined by the characteristics of the substrate and is within 10 µm. The value of the longitudinal correlation length is at a level of tens of nanometres.
Another factor affecting the deterioration of the reflective characteristics of multilayer mirrors, especially short-period ones, is the period drift with growth. In our case it was about 1%. The last two columns of Table 1 show the calculated values of the reflection coefficient and spectral selectivity corresponding to a case without any change in the period. As can be seen from the table, the period drift strongly limits the experimental reflection coefficients and spectral selectivity. At a wavelength of 1.54 Å, Mo/B4C MLMs provide a reflectance of 50% and a spectral selectivity of 0.4% at a period of 18 Å with zero period drift. Compared with W/B4C mirrors with similar reflection coefficients, the spectral selectivity of Mo/B4C MLMs is almost two times higher. The reflection coefficients also increase with increases in photon energy.
Within the framework of the performed studies, the effect of vacuum annealing on the reflective characteristics of the synthesized Mo/B4C structures was also investigated. The mirrors were annealed for an hour at temperatures from 150 to 300°C. The measurements of the reflection coefficient dependences on the angle of incidence of the radiation before and after annealing showed no degradation of the reflective characteristics of the structures under thermal exposure, which indicates their thermal stability. An example of such an analysis for sample RS-151 is shown in Fig. 5.
4. Experimental results obtained using synchrotron radiation
Due to the larger shows a comparison of the experimental curves of the angular dependence of the reflection coefficient (a) and diffuse scattering (b) obtained in the framework of laboratory and synchrotron measurements for the RS-151 sample.
of at the synchrotron and in order to refine the results obtained by laboratory methods, several samples were studied at the KISI synchrotron. Fig. 6From the presented data we can conclude that the synchrotron and the laboratory measurements are in good agreement, which confirms their reliability. Fig. 7 shows the results of measuring the reflection coefficient (a) and the diffuse scattering (b) for the RS-217 sample, carried out at the synchrotron, as well as the fitting of the experimental data.
A slight discrepancy in experimental and fitting curves of diffuse scattering could be explained by the fact that this fitting refers to the sample with extremely short period of 8 Å. It is possible that, for this structure, a significant contribution to scattering is made by spatial inhomogeneities (individual clusters and crystallites), which are not taken into account by our model, which considers only scattering from interfaces. These effects were observed in multilayer W/Si mirrors, which was considered by Chkhalo, Garakhin, Kumar et al. (2022).
5. Conclusion
Within the framework of the study the reflective and structural characteristics of Mo/B4C multilayer mirrors with periods from 8 to 35 Å were studied. The main results of the study were as follows.
First, the value of the interlayer roughness remains practically unchanged for all structures σ ≃ 1 Å with a slight tendency to increase at period values of about 10 Å. Such behaviour of the interlayer roughness indicates preservation of the continuity of such ultrathin films and was observed earlier in Cr/Be MLM (Pleshkov et al., 2021). In that work, this effect was explained by the formation of chromium beryllides in the case of ultrathin layers. Apparently, molybdenum boride films are formed in our case as well.
Second, the main contribution to the interface widths is made by mixing of the film materials at the boundaries. At the same time, the Mo-on-B4C border is the most blurred. The widths of the interfaces varied from 3 to 4 Å with the period decrease from 35 to 8 Å.
Thirdly, the length of the transverse correlation of roughness is determined by the characteristics of the substrate and is within 10 µm. The value of the longitudinal correlation length is at a level of tens of nanometres.
Fourth, the reflection coefficients and the spectral selectivity of the Mo/B4C MLMs studied in this work are limited by the period drift over the depth of the samples. In our case the drift value is at a level of 1%. In cases of an absence of period drift, the reflection coefficient at a wavelength 1.54 Å is about 50% and a spectral selectivity of 0.4% is achieved at a period of 18 Å. In general, the Mo/B4C MLMs significantly outperform W/B4C mirrors in terms of spectral selectivity with comparable reflectance. Furthermore, there is no degradation of the interfaces in the Mo/B4C structures at periods up to 10 Å.
Fifth, the study of thermal stability during vacuum annealing up to 300°C showed the high stability of the reflective characteristics of short-period Mo/B4C mirrors as had been previously observed for samples with long periods (Shaposhnikov et al., 2023).
Sixth, a comparison of the results of measurements carried out on laboratory equipment shows good agreement with measurements carried out at the KISI synchrotron. This fact indicates the adequacy of the laboratory methods we have developed for studying the reflective characteristics and internal structures, including those for multilayer mirrors with ultrashort periods. Thus, on the basis of the study performed, it can be concluded that short-period Mo/B4C multilayer mirrors are extremely promising for use in synchrotron applications.
