Abstract
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to study the evolution of NiTi alloy surface composition under bombardment with atomic and cluster argon ions. A strong enrichment of the surface with nickel was found for both atomic and cluster ions, which is inconsistent with contemporary understanding of preferential sputtering. Possible reasons for this result are discussed.
