Title: Erosion of Frozen Gases by MeV Ion Bombardment (Part A)
Authors: Haugen, Harold K.
Advisor: Davies, J. A.
Department: Engineering Physics
Keywords: engineering physics;frozen gas; erosion;MeV ion; bombardment
Publication Date: Sep-1978
Abstract: Recent measurements of the sputtering of frozen gases by MeV ions gave yields several orders of magnitude greater than predicted by collision cascade theory. Only a "thermal spike" model, invoking a coupling of electronic excitation to nuclear motion, agrees qualitatively with experimental results. Yields of 300 keV to 2 MeV ions ranging in mass from 4 a.m.u. to 40 a.m.u. were investigated for ice, Kr and Xe films in the temperature range of 15°K to 120°K.
