    The authors would like to thank U. Geckle and M. Bruns for preparation of the silicon nitride isotope multilayers, E. E. Haller, D. Bougeard, and H. Bracht for supplying the Ge isotope multilayers, and M. Horisberger for sputtering the Fe isotope multilayers. We also thank N. P. Lalla for carrying out the TEM measurements on Fe. This work is based on experiments performed at the Swiss spallation neutron source SINQ, Paul Scherrer Institute, Villigen, Switzerland and at the Geesthacht Neutron Facility GENF, GKKS Institute, Germany.
