This chapter deals with sputtering of multicomponent systems, ie, materials consisting of
more than one element such as alloys or compounds. The major effects concern …

This article summarizes theoretical work on sputtering during the past decade, with the
emphasis on elemental sputtering in the linear cascade and spike regimes as well as alloy …

The book presents an overview on important aspects of ion irradiation of surfaces,
emphasizing low impact energies. Specifically, ion penetration and implantation into solids …

This paper outlines a fairly general scheme for the theoretical treatment of sputtering of
multicomponent media. A balance equation has been developed which describes the …

We performed H+ and He+ irradiation experiments on slabs of the Murchison CM2 meteorite
to simulate solar wind irradiation of carbonaceous asteroids. Two separate 6 mm× 6 mm …

In sputtering multicomponents materials it is found in general that the surface composition is
changed due to preferential sputtering. Changes in the surface composition of one-phase …

Within the framework of the transport theoretical description of slowing down of energetic
particles in random media, a general relation for recoil mixing is derived and evaluated. It …

The paper reviews the nature of radiation damage produced in inorganic target materials by
sputtering with low-energy ion and atom beams, both in general and for particular types of …

This volume outlines the physical and methodical concepts of X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy (XPS) specifically for surface studies using both inner and valence electron …

Plasma-Material Interaction in Controlled Fusion deals with the specific contact between the
fourth state of matter, ie plasma, and the first state of matter, ie a solid wall, in controlled …
