Description

The experimental method is discribed for measuring angular dostributions of sputtered particles using a sputtered particle collector and Rutherford backscattering analysis. The angular diatributions are given for 100keV Ar+ions sputtering of Ag at incident angles of 0 deg, 30 deg, 50 deg, and 80 deg. The angular diatributions have large deviations from the cosine distribution and show an anisotropy with a preferred emission in forward direction with respect to the beam. The differential sputtering yield increases rapidly with increasing angle of incidence. The total sputtering yield calculated from the angular distribution for 50 keV Ar+ sputtering of Ag is 16.8±2.4 atoms/ion and compared with theoretical values. Finally, the results are discussed qualitatively
