Low-energy ion scattering and sputtering at grazing ion bombardment of clean and oxygen covered Ag(110) surface

The ion scattering and sputtering processes at low energy grazing N+ and Ne+ ion bombardment of clean and oxygen covered Ag(110) surface have been investigated by computer simulation in the binary collision approximation. The spatial, angular and energy distributions of scattered, sputtered particle...

Description
Summary:The ion scattering and sputtering processes at low energy grazing N+ and Ne+ ion bombardment of clean and oxygen covered Ag(110) surface have been investigated by computer simulation in the binary collision approximation. The spatial, angular and energy distributions of scattered, sputtered particles and desorbed molecules of oxygen as well as their yields versus the angle of incidence have been calculated. In these distributions the some characteristic peaks were observed and analysed. It was found that an adsorption layer plays a role of the additional surface barrier, i.e. it reflects leaving target atoms back to crystal. The azimuth angular dependencies of Ag sputtering yield and non-dissociative O2 desorption yield at grazing incidence have been calculated. It was shown that these dependencies correlate the crystal orientation.
