Abstract:To determine the effect of the surface potential of dielectric samples on the yield of positive ions during
ion irradiation, we studied the dependence of the current of secondary particles on the thickness of dielectric
films. It is shown that the yield of positive secondary particles increases significantly with increasing thickness
if the film charging potential does not exceed the breakdown value determined by the electrical strength of
the film. An indirect confirmation of the film charging in these experi… Show more
