Investigation on microstructures and interfaces of NiC/Ti neutron multilayers
NiC/Ti neutron supermirror plays a key role in improving the capability of neutron optics. In order to improve the performance of the neutron supermirror
a study in microstructures and interfaces of NiC/Ti multilayers with varied NiC layer thickness was presented. The thickness
interface roughness and crystalline state of NiC/Ti multilayers were represent by Grazing incidence X-ray reflectivity and X-ray diffraction
respectively. The study results indicate that the NiC-on-Ti interface roughness was almost constant except the thin NiC layer
which has the thickness less than 2.5 nm
however the Ti-on-NiC interface roughness has relatively large changes. The NiC layers transferred from amorphous to polycrystal
as the NiC layer thickness increase from 2.5 nm to 5.5 nm
and both two interfaces and the size of Ni (111) crystalline grains almost kept constant as the NiC layer thickness continue to increase. This different variation between Ti-on-NiC and NiC-on-Ti interface roughness can be attributed to the microstructures changes resulting from varying NiC layer thickness.
