Atom (fast atom bombardment) compared to ion-induced static secondary ion mass spectrometry: evidence for charge-induced damage in insulators

  • 1. Manchester Univ. (UK). Inst. of Science and Technology

Description

A comparison of the secondary ion mass spectra obtained and the surface damage caused by ion and atom bombardment of polystyrene and niobium pentoxide shows that ion bombardment causes significantly more disruption of the surface structure of low conductivity materials than does atom bombardment.
