Perfect and mosaic crystals are conventionally used in X-ray monochromators operating in the energy range from several hundred
to tens of thousands of electronvolts. The focusing X-ray optics for nonparallel beams employs either cylindrical bent crystals
(the methods of Johann [1], Johansson [2], and Cauchois [3]) or crystals with spherical or toroidal [4] bending of the crystallographic
planes. Special variants of high-resolution stepped-crystal diffractors [5–8] were developed to study the possibility of high-precision
focusing of a monochromatic X-ray radiation. The fractal properties of a geometric model of such a high-resolution steppedcrystal
diffractor are considered.
