The Influence of Proton Irradiation on Properties of Glass with ITO Coating

Changes in the surface morphology and optical properties of the samples of K208 glass with an ITO film are studied after the effect of protons with an energy of 20 keV and a dose of 0.2–1.0 mC/cm2 at a proton current density of 9 nA/cm2. It is shown experimentally that the presence of the ITO film affects the character of morphology changing and is the main reason for the degradation of the sample optical properties at the proton irradiation.
