Materials that exhibit strong reflectivity of hard X-rays at normal incidence are sought after for components such as hard-X-ray cavities, beamsplitters and delay lines. Here, researchers experimentally demonstrate hard-X-ray reflectivities of more than 99% from diamond crystals at near-normal incidence.
