Abstract:The effect of crystal orientation and surface morphology on the detected Auger current was investigated using a polycrystalline Mo sample. The sample was initially polished to a uniform and featureless surface morphology. Two large grains were used in the study, with their crystal orientation determined as -(loo) for the low-index grain and -(l, 4, 11) for the high-index grain. Ion bombardment conditions used were typical for surface analysis, i.e. 2 keV Ar+ at glancing incidence. The initial Auger current mea… Show more
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.
