Abstract

ABSTRACTAn experimental set up has been designed to suppress electron currents generated during energetic ion irradiation to obtain accurate current integration for Heavy Ion Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (HIRBS) measurements of heavy element concentrations and target depth profiles. A combination of an electron trap to suppress any electrons ejected from beam collimators and slits, and a biased aluminum mesh to suppress any secondary electrons ejected from the target was used. Two samples that produce cleanly interpreted spectra have been used as targets to check the accuracy of the system for 3.0 and 4.5 MeV O+2 projectile ions. Details of the experimental set up and data are presented.
