Chemical effects of ion bombardment

Assessment of the Structural State of the Amorphous Alloys Thin Surface Layers

“…The surface layers are successively removed through bombardment with ions of noble gases (argon) in the ultrahigh vacuum chamber of a spectrometer. The associated effects are examined thoroughly enough [6][7][8][9]. The works [9,10] observed how these effects influence the concentration-profile shape.…”

Effect of Hydrogen Absorption on the Composition of the Amorphous Alloys Surface Layers

“…For obtaining the concentration profiles of surface layers, the successive removal of the surface layers is conducted by the bombardment with argon ions (1 keV) in the ultrahigh vacuum chamber of the spectrometer. The effects accompanying the process and influencing the profile shape are studied in detail in [12][13][14][15][16]. The difference in the sputtering coefficients of the phases due to the different character of the interatomic bonds has the most influence on the shape of the concentration profiles at the initial stage (sputtering to 10 -15 nm).…”

From hot atom chemistry to epithermal chemistry

“…It implied with the time a lot of new nonradioactive techniques: low temperature cryostats, on-line FTIR and quadrupole mass spectrometry, ion implantation, utilisation of the cyclotron merely as a radiation source for the simulation of fast cosmic rays, comet simulation in big vacuum chambers (KOSI), etc. [37,50,[53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60]. Even if nuclear techniques were still applied [37,38,40,50,[53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61], the field did not belong to nuclear chemistry any more, but to space research.…”
