Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

The development of the reference samples SPAM-20 and SPAM-100 for the spatial characteristics of nanostructures, based on periodic multilayer Al2O3/TiO2 coatings and intended for monitoring measurement accuracy and certification of x-ray reflectometry measurement techniques, is discussed. The metrological characteristics of these standard samples are examined.
