چکیده
We report on recent progress with development of astronomical X-ray optics based on bent Si wafers. Recent efforts with Si wafers have been focused on new forming technologies such as method of deposition of thin layers. The role of substrates quality in performance of final mirror arrays, as required by large future space X-ray astronomy experiments was also studied.

Sputter deposition of PZT piezoelectric films on thin glass substrates for adjustable x-ray optics.
Piezoelectric PbZr(0.52)Ti(0.48)O(3) (PZT) thin films deposited on thin glass substrates have been proposed for adjustable optics in future x-ray telescopes. The light weight of these x-ray optics enables large collecting areas, while the capability to correct mirror figure errors with the PZT thin film will allow much higher imaging resolution than possible with conventional lightweight optics...
متن کاملEffects of Annealing and Thickness on the Structural and Optical Properties of Crystalline ZnS Thin Films Prepared by PVD Method
Zinc Sulfide (ZnS) thin films were deposited on glass substrates at the pressure of 10-6 mbar by thermal resistor evaporation technique. The effects of annealing on the structural, optical properties of ZnS films were studied. Crystalline ZnS films have been analyzed by X-ray diffraction. Only cubic phase with the preferred (111) plane was found in ZnS films. Optical characteristics were studie...
متن کاملEnhanced Physical Properties Of Indium Tin Oxide Films Grown on Zinc Oxide-Coated Substrates
Structural, electrical and optical properties of indium tin oxide or ITO (In2O3:SnO2) thin films on different substrates are investigated. A 100-nm-thick pre-deposited zinc oxide (ZnO) buffer layer is utilized to simultaneously improve the electrical and optical properties of ITO films. High purity ZnO and ITO layers are deposited with a radio frequency sputtering in argon ambient with plasma p...
متن کاملStructural Properties of Post Annealed ITO Thin Films at Different Temperatures
Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were deposited on glass substrates by RF sputtering using an ITO ceramic target (In2O3-SnO2, 90-10 wt. %). After deposition, samples were annealed at different temperatures in vacuum furnace. The post vacuum annealing effects on the structural, optical and electrical properties of ITO films were investigated. Polycrystalline...
