EXIT CONDITIONS FOR SECONDARY-ION EMISSION INDUCED BY KEV CLUSTER BOMBARDMENT Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • The emission of secondary ions from CsI and phenylalanine surfaces via keV atomic and cluster projectile impacts was studied with coincidence counting time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The results show that not all desorption events from a given projectile are equivalent. The degree of secondary ion correlation was observed to be an inverse function of the kinetic energy and complexity, or efficiency, of the primary ion. For the cases studied, changes in secondary ion correlation are attributed to a change in the ion formation pathway as well as the surface volume excited by a primary projectile. 1993.
