The requirements for the surface preparation of single crystals to be used in the measurement of heavy ion channelling, proton scattering, etc., processes which depend on the ordered nature of the lattice, are much more stringent than those for the standard metallographic examination of surfaces. This review describes the various techniques of sectioning, grinding and polishing of single crystals, illustrates the type and depth of damage introduced as a consequence of these techniques and shows how this damage may best be removed. The mounting of prepared targets in vacuum apparatus, in a manner suitable for measurement of channelling effects over a wide range of temperature is described and illustration is made of the effect of disordered surfaces, due to oxidation or to ion bombardment, on the measured yield of the channelling processes.

The range and depth distributions of 40-keV xenon ions in single crystals of NaCl, KBr, MgO, SiO2 (α quartz), in sintered UO2 and in fused silica, have been measured by the sectioning techniques of vibratory polishing and chemical dissolution. Channeling is observed in the single crystals when the [Formula: see text] is oriented parallel to the incident beam of the ions. This effect is similar to that previously reported for some metal single crystals. High bombardment doses produce a factor of 2–5 decrease in penetration depth in MgO and SiO2, materials which are known to be damaged by ion bombardment. This decrease is smaller in materials that do not show gross ion bombardment damage, such as NaCl, KBr, and UO2. Thus, the study of ranges is shown to be another means of detecting gross radiation damage.
