To experimentally evaluate this enhancement, a Ni grating was coated with a high-density carbon film, i.e., diamond-like carbon (DLC). The first order diffraction efficiencies of the Ni gratings coated with and without DLC were measured to be 25.8 % and 16.9 %, respectively, at a wavelength of 6.76 nm and an angle of incidence of 87.07°. The ratio of diffraction efficiency obtained experimentally vs. that calculated by numerical simulation is 0.87 for the DLC-coated Ni grating. The diffraction efficiency of a Ni grating coated with a low-density carbon film, amorphous carbon (a-C), was also slightly improved to be 19.6 %. Furthermore, a distinct minimum of the zeroth order lights of the two carbon-coated Ni gratings were observed at around 6.76 nm, which is coincident with the maximum of the first order light.}, pages = {040043-1--040043-4}, publisher = {AIP Publishing}, title = {Experimental evaluation of a method to enhance the diffraction efficiency by overcoating diamond-like carbon (DLC) on soft X-ray laminar-type gratings}, volume = {1741}, year = {2016} }
