Desorption experiments on organic insulators with high energy particle beams

  • 1. Division of Ion Physics, Department of Radiation Sciences, Uppsala University, Uppsala (Sweden)

Description

Fast heavy ions can electronically sputter or cause desorption from many different kinds of insulating materials like water ice, condensed gases, alkali halide salts and organics. In this paper a summary of experiments on electronic sputtering of biomolecules with MeV energy particle beams will be given. Recent results on formation of 'buckyballs' when a certain polymer is irradiated with fast heavy ions will also be described. (au) (87 refs.)
