30 keV Ion Bombardment Apparatus for Study of Interaction of Light Ions with Surfaces
1966
An ultrahigh vacuum system is described which was designed to study particles emitted from surfaces under bombardment by hydrogen ions. Stress has been laid on obtaining pressures ∼10−9 Torr in the presence of the ion beam. The beam is mass analyzed and its energy is variable from 5 to 30 keV. A maximum current of 300 μA over 0.1 cm2 is obtainable at the target, so that a beam/neutral gas bombardment ratio of better than 1000/1 can be achieved. A target mounting turntable is described which allows up to six targets to be bombarded in turn. A quadrupole mass filter is incorporated in the target chamber as a residual gas analyzer and as a means of identifying gas species resulting from the bombardment of surfaces.
