The influence of alkali metal implantations in silicon on the negative secondary ion emission is studied. It is observed that the effect of negative ion signal enhancement decreases with increasing ionization potential from Cs to Na but depends lineary on the alkali volume concentration for all alkali metals. Natrium exhibits a somewhat deviating behaviour, which can be explained by its comparable high ionization potential.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
