Sputtering processes on cathode material in glow discharges are especially used in glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOS). Typical phenomena of sputtered surfaces are to be seen what may be proved by REM photographs. Essential factors influencing the analysis of surface layers are discussed. In addition possibilities to overcome falsifications of depth profiles are presented.
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.
