Gas bearing slumping and figure correction of x-ray telescope mirror substrates

Figure correction of thin x-ray telescope mirrors may be critical for future missions that require high angular resolution and large collecting areas. One promising method of providing figure correction is to use stress generated via ion implantation. Since stress-based figure correction strategies...
