SPUTTERING OF LARGE SIZE CLUSTERS FROM SOLIDS BOMBARDED BY HIGH ENERGY CLUSTER IONS AND FULLERENES

摘要

It is shown that polyatomic ions at high energy (MeV) are able to emit large size cluster ions with a high yield when they bombard solid surfaces. Results on sputtering of clusters ejected from inorganic and organic targets as well as sputtering of C-n(-) clusters from carbon foils are presented. Gold cluster Au-n, carbon cluster C-n and C-60 in the energy range from 2 to 20 MeV were used as projectiles. References: 18
