A new algorithm, Genetic/Tabu hybrid algorithm (GTHA) to optimize the aperiodic multilayer mirrors which combines the advantages of genetic algorithm (GAs) with tabu search (TS) algorithm is proposed in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) range. Aperiodic multilayers are designed using GTHA for the selection of Fe-IX and He-II emission lines contrasting to the traditional periodic multilayers for a single wavelength. Materials of Mo and Si are selected for their high stability and fairly high reflectivity. High reflectance of 48.62% for the Fe-IX line (λ=17.1nm) and reflectance of 20.57% for the He-II line (λ=30.4nm) are reached by the new algorithm. Comparisons between aperiodic multilayers found by GTHA and the ones optimized using GAs indicate the effectiveness and reliability of the new hybrid algorithm. The aperiodic designs are compared with the periodic ones as well. And the aperiodic multilayers found by GTHA also have the better performance than periodic ones. The practicability of the aperiodic design optimized by GHTA is verified by the sensitivity analyses to thicknesses errors, which indicated it more feasible to fabricate the aperiodic multilayers in practice..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
