For protons of 40 to 120 keV energy impinging on the surface of a copper single crystal, the energy and angular distributions of the backscattered hydrogen atoms were measured, especially in and around the [Formula: see text] direction.

In the last decade, the use of transmission electron microscopes for surface imaging in the reflection mode has been shown to have considerable potential as a means for studying surfaces. Many REM (Reflection Electron Microscopy) studies have been done as reviewed recently by Cowley and Yagi. However, due to the lack of success with clean and flat single-crystal surface preparation technique, the surface studies of less inert metals, such as copper single crystal, have not been reported. The normal method of forming spherical platinum or gold single crystal by simply melting the end of platinum or gold thin wire with an acetylene-oxygen flame in air for REM observation is difficult here. The formation of flat copper surfaces occurs during the well-controlled crystallization process and is sensitively influenced by its physical and chemical properties. This paper reports a new method of overcoming these difficulties in the copper single crystal preparation. Observations of the samples have been made by REM and RHEED (Reflection High Energy Elecrton Diffraction).

AbstractHydrothermal synthesis produced the new compound SrCo2(AsO4)(AsO3OH)(OH)(H2O). The compound belongs to the tsumcorite group (natural and synthetic compounds with the general formula M(1)M(2)2(XO4)2(H2O,OH)2; M(1)1+,2+,3+ = Na, K, Rb, Ag, NH4, Ca, Pb, Bi, Tl; M(2)2+,3+ = Al, Mn3+, Fe3+, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn; and X5+,6+ = P, As, V, S, Se, Mo). It represents (1) the first Sr member, (2) the until now unknown [7]-coordination for the M(1) position, (3) the first proof of (partially) protonated arsenate groups in this group of compounds, and (4) a new structure variant.The crystal structure of the title compound was determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The compound is monoclinic, space group P21/a, with a = 9.139(2), b = 12.829(3), c = 7.522(2) Å, β = 114.33(3)°, V = 803.6(3) Å3, Z = 4 [wR2 = 0.065 for 3530 unique reflections]. The hydrogen atoms were located experimentally.


The distributions in angle and energy for charged particles emitted from polycrystalline platinum bombarded with ions of hydrogen, sodium, potassium and some hydrocarbons, have been measured, in continuation of previous work (Cawthron, Cotterell & Oliphant 1969 a , b , parts I and II; 1970, part III) to lower energies. Composite spectra are presented, including ions of both signs. The flux of emitted charged particles, under hydrogen ion bombardment, is shown to contain approximately equal numbers of protons and H¯ ions, except at the lowest bombarding energies, where the latter apparently predominate. Scattering in all cases is shown to increase with bombarding energy over the range covered, the increase being near linear for hydrogen and very rapid for alkalimetal ions. In all cases the total emission of charged particles is very small at the lowest bombarding energies employed.
