Abstract
The temperature dependence of ion-induced electron emission yield γ under 30keV Ar+ ion impacts at incidence angles θ=0−80° under dynamically steady-state conditions has been measured for polygranular graphite POCO-AXF-5Q. The fluencies were 1018–1019 ion/cm2, the temperatures varied from the room temperature (RT) to 400°C. The RHEED has shown that same diffraction patterns correspond to a high degree of disorder at RT. At high temperature (HT), some patterns have been found similar to those for the initial graphite surfaces. The dependence γ(T) has been found to be non-monotonic and for normal and near normal ion incidence manifests a step-like increase typical for a radiation induced phase transition. At oblique and grazing incidence (θ>30°), a broad peak was found at Tp=100°C. An analysis based on the theory of kinetic ion-induced electron emission connects the behavior of γ(θ,T) to the dependence of both secondary electron path length λ and primary ion ionizing path length Re on lattice structure that drastically changes due to damage annealing.
