The absolute electron yield ( γ M ) for He (2 3 S ) metastable atoms incident on a gold surface has been measured. The method requires passage of a metastable atom flux through a collision chamber containing argon and thence to the gold surface. From observations on the current of argon ions arising from collisions of the type He (2 3 S ) + A → He + A + + e , together with measurements of the electron emission from the gold surface, γ M may be determined. The total cross-sections for collisions between metastable helium atoms and He, Ne, A and K have been measured and in the asymmetrical cases are observed to rise linearly with increasing atomic number of the target atom. Some collisions involving helium resonance radiation have also been studied. In particular, the photo-electric yield from the gold surface has been determined together with the attenuation of the photon flux in passage through certain noble gases.

Abstract Groups of ions were produced by photoionisation of argon, nitrogen and oxygen in a drift chamber, using as the light source a repetitive spark discharge in combination with a uv monochromator. After their traversal of the drift region, the ions were detected in a mass spectrometer. An analysis of the temporal arrival profiles provided ionic drift velocities and diffusion coefficients as a function of gas pressure and electric field. For ions in their electronic and vibrational ground states, the measured drift velocities are in accord with previous data in the literature. At some wave lengths excited ions are produced in addition to ground state ions. Their drift velocities are larger on account of smaller charge transfer cross sections. Drift velocities and diffusion coefficients pro-vide ion temperatures as a function of the reduced field strength. Ion temperatures for argon ions correspond to the gas temperature. For nitrogen and oxygen ions the temperatures increase linearly with E/P and extrapolate at high fields to those given by Wannier's theory

The paper focuses on the chemical characteristics of ion-beam passivation effects (of the first-third order) of titanium depending on the dose of implanted ions. The key objective is electron microscopy and SPM-based analysis of nanostructured VT1-00 titanium surfaces produced by entering nitrogen and argon ions of high energy. This type of surfaces can find application in fabrication of devices for the power engineering industry. The obtained experimental data provide evidence of a carbon nanocoating over the surface of titanium implanted with accelerated nitrogen ions, which is similar to that acquired upon titanium implantation with argon ions. A hypothesis is formulated about the existence of a mechanism for changing the chemical activity of titanium as a result of ion-beam nanostructuring – ion-stimulated synthesis of.

ABSTRACTWe have produced beveled cross-sections of GaAs/GaAlAs multiple quantum well structures with inclination angles of 0.55 minutes of arc with a special ion beam etching technique. The extension of the damage which is induced during the dry etching process can be evaluated directly by a comparison of spatially resolved secondary ion mass spectroscopy and photoluminescence measurements. We observe a thickness of the damaged surface layer between 36 nm for 250 eV Argon ions and 160 nm for 1000 eV Argon ions in a GaAs/GaAlAs multiple quantum well structure.
