Abstract

Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to study the effect of cluster size on the emission yield and damage cross section in organic SIMS. A model system composed of a monolayer of biphenyl molecules on a Cu(001) substrate was bombarded with Cu{sub n} (n=1-3) projectiles at kinetic energies of 0.100 keV per atom. The yield increases with cluster size, but a nonlinear enhancement in yield is not observed. The yield-to-damage ratio, on the other hand, increases with the use of clusters, indicating that clusters have the potential to improve the sensitivity of SIMS.

On the SIMS Ionization Probability of Organic Molecules

Journal Article Breuer, Lars; Wucher, Andreas; Winograd, Nicholas - Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry

The prospect of improved secondary ion yields for secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) experiments drives innovation of new primary ion sources, instrumentation, and post-ionization techniques. The largest factor affecting secondary ion efficiency is believed to be the poor ionization probability (α{sup +}) of sputtered material, a value rarely measured directly, but estimated to be in some cases as low as 10{sup −5}. Our lab has developed a method for the direct determination of α{sup +} in a SIMS experiment using laser post-ionization (LPI) to detect neutral molecular species in the sputtered plume for an organic compound. Here, we apply thismore »« less

Evaluation of surface damage on organic materials irradiated with Ar cluster ion beam

Journal Article Yamamoto, Y; Ichiki, K; Ninomiya, S; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

The sputtering yields of organic materials under large cluster ion bombardment are much higher than those under conventional monomer ion bombardment. The sputtering rate of arginine remains constant with fluence for an Ar cluster ion beam, but decreases with fluence for Ar monomer. Additionally, because Ar cluster etching induces little damage, Ar cluster ion can be used to achieve molecular depth profiling of organic materials. In this study, we evaluated the damage to poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) and arginine samples irradiated with Ar atomic and Ar cluster ion beams. Arginine samples were analyzed by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) andmore »« less

Experimental study of molecular and cluster effects in secondary electron emission

Journal Article Rothard, H; Kroneberger, K; Veje, E; ... - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter; (USA)

We have measured the ion-induced secondary-electron-emission (SEE) yields in forward and backward directions from thin sputter-cleaned foils in ultrahigh vacuum. C, Al, Ti, Ni, and Cu have been bombarded with H{sup +}, H{sub 2}{sup +}, and H{sub 3}{sup +} (0.3--1.2 MeV/amu), and C and Al have been bombarded with C{sup +}, O{sup +}, and CO{sup +} (15--85 keV/amu). The yields induced by molecular and cluster ions are compared to those induced by the corresponding isotachic monoatomic projectiles. We observe molecular effects as yield reductions at low projectile velocities ({ital v}{sub {ital p}}{approx}{ital v{ital o}}) and yield enhancements at higher velocitiesmore »« less

Molecular-dynamics simulations of collisions between energetic clusters of atoms and metal substrates

Journal Article Hsieh, H; Averback, R; Sellers, H; ... - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter; (United States)

The collisional dynamics between clusters of Cu, Ni, or Al atoms, with energies of 92 eV to 1.0 keV and sizes of 4 to 92 atoms, and substrates of these same metals were studied using molecular-dynamics computer simulations. A diverse behavior was observed, depending sensitively on the size and energy of the cluster, the elastic and chemical properties of the cluster-substrate combination, and the relative mass of the cluster and substrate atoms. For the 92-atom Cu clusters impacting a Cu substrate, the cluster can form a glob'' on the surface at low energy, while penetrating the substrate and heavily deformingmore »« less

Molecular dynamics simulations of low-energy particle bombardment effects during vapor-phase crystal growth: 10 eV Si atoms incident on Si(001)2 times 1 surfaces

Journal Article Kitabatake, M; Fons, P; Greene, J - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology, A (Vacuum, Surfaces and Films); (USA)

Molecular dynamics simulations, utilizing the Tersoff many-body potential, were used to investigate the effects of 10 eV Si atom bombardment of a Si lattice with a (001)2{times}1 reconstructed surface. The irradiation events were initiated at an array of points in the primitive surface unit cell. Each event was followed to determine kinetic energy redistribution in the lattice as a function of time, ion and lattice atom trajectories, and the nature, number, and depth of residual defects. Surface dimer breaking, epitaxial growth (due to both projectiles and lattice atoms coming to rest at epitaxial positions), and the formation of residual hexagonalmore »« less
