Surface Degradation of Thin-Layer Al/MgF<sub>2</sub> Mirrors under Exposure to Powerful VUV Radiation

Surface Degradation of Thin-Layer Al/MgF<sub>2</sub> Mirrors under Exposure to Powerful VUV Radiation

Thin-layer Al/MgF<sub>2</sub> coatings are currently used for extraterrestrial far-UV astronomy as the primary and secondary mirrors of telescopes (such as “Spektr-UF”). Successful Hubble far-UV measurements have been performed thanks to MgF<sub>2</sub> on Al mirror coatings....
