The mathematical formulation of space-time energy release function of accelerated ions in solids is presented. High-power pulsed ion beam and continuous focused ion beam interaction with metals are considered. The power density of deposited energy and specific energy input in a target have been calculated. A beam energy fraction expended on the collisional sputtering of target atoms has been estimated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
