“…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 (Martı ´nez- 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.…”
