Abstract:It is proposed to use “liquid glasses” of different compositions as substrates for space-based X-ray optical elements. One of the main requirements for such materials is the smallest mass and the possibility of surface treatment. Special requirements are imposed on the surface roughness, which must be less than 1 nm, and the shape accuracy should be at the level of units of nanometers. It is proposed to use a class of compounds based on alkali metal silicates or strong organic bases as a material, which allows… Show more
