Popis: The characteristics of Ag-Se/Ge-Se are evaluated as a recording medium for soft X-ray holograms. An Ag-Se/Ge-Se film is feasible for real-time observation with high-resolution X-ray images because soft X-rays induce reflectance changes on this film without any additional processes after exposure. The variations in reflectance dependence on Ag-photodoping dispersion depth into chalcogenide film are analyzed by using multi-layer reflection. The trend of variations in reflectance changes greatly for a total thickness difference of only ±10 nm. The dispersion depth is dependent on the X-ray exposure dose. The refractive index of Ag-Se (Ag-photodoped Ge-Se) is estimated to be 2.95±0.05 at wavelengths ranging from 600 to 900 nm. The value of the diffraction efficiency is computed and also confirmed to be dependent on the exposure dose.
