摘要：

Soft x-ray reflectivity (SXR) of Cr/Sc multilayer with bilayer thickness of Lambda=1.56 nm was increased by 100% by an intentional introduction of nitrogen during magnetron sputtering. Multilayers deposited at background pressures of <= 2x10(-6) Torr exhibited amorphous layers with flat interfaces. At 2x10(-5) Torr, understoichiometric CrNx/ScNy multilayer with a nitrogen content of similar to 34 at. % was formed. CrNx/ScNy multilayer comprising of only 100 periods exhibited a SXR of 11.5%. X-ray and electron microscopy analyses showed that the improvement in performance is a result of reduced interfacial diffusion yielding interface widths of <= 0.29 nm. The CrNx/ScNy multilayer exhibited thermal stability up to >380 degrees C. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
