Scientific paper

SiC/Mg multilayers have been used as coatings of the Sounding-rocket CORonagraphic Experiment (SCORE) telescope mirrors launched during the NASA HERSCHEL program. This materials couple has been largely studied by researchers since it provides higher performances than a standard Mo/Si multilayer; the SCORE mirrors show in fact a peak reflectance of around 40% at HeII 30.4 nm. Nevertheless, long term stability of this coating is an open problem. A study on the aging and stability of this multilayer has been carried on. SiC/Mg multilayer samples characterized by different structural parameters have been deposited. They have been measured just after deposition and four years later to verify degradation based on natural aging. Experimental results and analysis are presented.
