Description

Both the analytical and computational modelling of secondary effects as well as the experimental evidence for their existence in ion-induced surface erosion are discussed. The effects analyzed include: redeposition of sputtered atoms; effects due to the enhancement of the primary beam by scattered ions and energetic sputtered atoms originating from high-angle surfaces; effects due to beam divergence, including the interaction of the beam with defining apertures; the influence of 'latent planes' which always exist in crystalline materials; the influence of surface energy and surface tension on the development of topographical features. 94 refs.; 56 figs.; 2 tabs
