Изменение электропроводности стекла, кварца и пленок Au, C, МоS2 под влиянием непрерывной инжекции протонов

Abstract

Changes in the electrical conductivity of a wide range of materials with different crystal-chemical types and electrophysical properties (quartz, glass, molybdenum disulfide, graphite, gold) under continuous proton injection are studied. Film samples of layered MoS2 and graphite compounds were obtained on rough surfaces of glass or quartz by mechanical rubbing of powder. Gold films are formed on glass substrates by magnetron sputtering of a gold target. To create a continuous stream of protons injected into the test sample, a stationary ion source with a cold cathode and a magnetic field forming an ion beam of relatively low intensity was used. The current in the ion beam is up to 1.2 mA, the pressure of hydrogen in the chamber is ~10 – 2 Pa, the energy of hydrogen ions is from 1 to 4 keV. The experimental results indicate that under conditions of continuous proton injection, the electrical conductivity of thin films with a layered structure (MoS2 and graphite) increases sharply (by 4 – 5 orders of magnitude). This effect increases when the temperature decreases from ~ 293 to ~ 77 K, as well as when the number of charges supplied to the sample increases. In the case of continuous injection of protons into massive dielectrics (glass, quartz) and thin films of gold, no noticeable change in electrical conductivity was detected.
