Total-electron-yield (TEY) x-ray standing-wave spectra of multilayer x-ray mirrors by monitoring sample photocurrent are presented to obtain the information on their interface structure. This simple TEY x-ray standing-wave method enables the simultaneous spectral measurements of the x-ray standing-wave and Bragg reflection. Optical measurements of Bragg reflection and x-ray standing-wave were carried out by using the reflectometer installed in the beamline 6.3.2 at the Advanced Light Source (ALS). Figure 1 shows the simultaneously measured Bragg reflection and TEY absorptiodstanding-wave spectra of the (a) 600-"C annealed and (b) as-deposited Mo/SiC/Si multilayer mirrors, measured by varying the incident angle from 30" to 90". The standing-wave structure shifts to the higher energy region as the incident angle decrease from 90" to 70", corresponding to the energy shift of the Bragg reflection peak. These results show that the Mo/SiC/Si layers were shrunk and the annealing disarranged their interface structures. Mapping measurements of the x-ray standing-wave signals in a sample plane can also be achieved on normal incidence by this TEY x-ray standing- wave method, which provide the spatial information of the interface structure in the sample plane. These results demonstrate that the TEY x-ray standing-wave measurements are useful method for the optical evaluation of multilayer x-ray mirrors, compensating the reflectivity measurements.
