Abstract
Sc–Si multilayers are suggested as high-reflectivity coatings for a VUV interval of 35–50 nm. Fabricated mirrors show normal-incidence reflectivity of 30–54%, which is high enough for effective manipulation of the beams of compact-discharge, laser-driven x-ray lasers. The values obtained are not, however, limits for Sc–Si coatings. Theoretical estimations as well as electron microscopy studies of Sc–Si interfaces indicate a large potential for a further increase in their reflectivity.
