A variety of oxygen-containing diatomic dications XO2+ can be produced in the gas phase by prolonged high-current 16O− ion surface bombardment (oxygen ion beam sputtering) of a wide range of sample materials. These gas-phase species were detected by mass spectrometry at half-integer m/z values for ion flight times of the order of ∼10−5 s. Examples provided here include ion mass spectra of AsO2+, GaO2+, SbO2+, AgO2+, CrO2+ and BeO2+. A detailed theoretical study of the diatomic dication system BeO2+ is also presented.

AbstractOxides of hafnium, niobium, tantalum, and zirconium are deposited by ion beam sputtering of the pure metal targets using CO2 as working gas. The resulting thin films are amorphous, featureless smooth and of excellent adherence to semiconductor substrates. Despite a certain content of carbon they are highly transparent in the visible and near infrared wavelength range as determined by spectroscopic ellipsometry. Their wide range of refractive indices makes them suitable for multilayer optical filter design.

AbstractThe growth mechanism of ZrNx films produced by reactive ion beam sputtering with or without concurrent low energy ion bombardment of argon or nitrogen has been investigated. The effect of substrate temperature in the range of 300-680K, partial pressure of nitrogen and ion/atom arrival rate on the composition and microstructure of the films have been studied. RBS analysis has confirmed that the nitrogen content varies over wide range 0-60 at. %, depending on the nitrogen/zirconium arrival rate, and the ion assist flux but it is independent of the ion assist energy. TEM analysis shows that the films are non-columnar and polycrystalline with grain sizes l-15nm which depend on the nitrogen content and the deposition temperature.
