Stage III annealing in monocrystalline gold films after 30 keV-gold ion irradiation

Resistivity annealing studies on gold films after gold ion irradiation at −196°C show that two defect species, presumably interstitials and vacancies, become mobile in stage III, the former above about −70°C and the latter above 0°C.

The Angular Distribution of Atoms Sputtered from Monocrystalline Gold

The angular distribution of atoms sputtered from metal single crystals has been used to study atom ejection processes. By analysing this distribution into the sum of a Gaussian and a cosine contribution it is shown that the isotropic background can be removed and considerably improved agreement obtained between theory and experiment. This is applied to the temperature variation of the width of Wehner spots. New experimental results are presented for gold sputtered by 10 keY argon ions over a wide range of temperatures.
