Bijkerk}, title = {Nitridation and contrast of B4C/La interfaces and X-ray multilayer optics}, abstract = {Chemical diffusion and interlayer formation in thin layers and at interfaces is of increasing influence in nanoscopic devices such as nano-electronics, magneto-optical storage and multilayer X-ray optics. We show that with the nitridation of reactive B4C/La interfaces, both the chemical and optical contrast can be greatly enhanced. Although interaction and diffusion of N-2 from the substrate towards the adlayer does occur, this surfactant mediated growth contributes to chemical and optical interface properties that enable major reflectivity improvements of multilayer optics for 6.7}, year = {2010}, journal = {Thin Solid Films}, volume = {518}, number = {24}, pages = {7249-7252}, month = {Oct}, isbn = {0040-6090}, url = {://000282915100017 }, note = {ISI Document Delivery No.: 663UITimes Cited: 0Cited Reference Count: 38Sp.
