    Abstract

    The demand for X-ray optics increases and so do their performance requirements. Iridium (Ir) thin film coatings have proven to be very robust and exhibit excellent reflective properties within the X-ray regime. However, the residual stress in Ir thin films is high and studies show that thin film Ir coatings with a thickness of 10–30 nm exhibit residual compressive stress1 as illustrated in Figure 1.
