Abstract: The thermal annealing behavior of the SnO2 thin films elaborated by sol-gel method has been studied by the neutrons reflectivity technique. From the fit of the experimental data using Parratt32 software program developed at HMI, Berlin, scattering length density, thickness and roughness are extracted. The obtained results show that the film thickness increases with the increasing annealing temperature, and the roughness is higher at 500 °C. Whereas, approximately, the same scattering length density is obtained after each annealing temperature.

Abstract: Reflectometry technique in Centre de Recherché Nucléaire de Draria (CRND) is operational since 2002. The instrument is used for investigation of monochromators and supermirrors. In this communication, several monochromators: 10 and 40 nickel-titanium bilayers deposited on a float-glass substrate with different period are analysed. The investigation of magnetic multilayers (25 silicon-iron bilayers monochromator) is also performed. From the results, Bragg peaks were identified indicating the periodicity of the multilayers.
