Abstract
Slow positron implantation spectroscopy has been used to determine the surface and near surface defect profile in LiF after implantation with 100 keV argon ions for a range of fluences from 10 13 to 10 16 cm −2. The measured S-parameter is used to characterise the radiation damage as a function of depth. The spatial extent of the defect distributions was estimated by employing the computer program VEPFIT. Maximum lattice damage is shown to occur at incident positron energy of 4.0 keV for low doses and 5.0 keV for the high dose. This energy corresponds to a sample depth of about 200 nm. The positron annihilation spectroscopy results are correlated with optical absorption measurements on the crystals.
