Abstract

The LLNL Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) has made low emittance beams of slow highly charged ions available for ion-solid interaction studies. Such interactions feature the dominance of electronic over collisional effects, and the shock waves generated by the ionized target atoms can desorb large numbers of large molecular species from the surface. This paper presents the first systematic study of the sputtering process due to the incidence of slow very highly charged ions; Th{sup 70+} ions are extracted from EBIT at 7 keV{sup *}q and directed onto thin SiO{sub 2} films on Si. Results suggest secondary ion yields of up to 25 per incident ion for Th{sup 70+} (secondary ion yield is increased over that for singly or moderately charged ions). Correlations of the negative, positive, and negative cluster ion yields show promise for application of highly charged ion induced sputtering for enhanced sensitivity and quantitative (absolute) SIMS analysis of deep submicron scale surface layers and polymeric and biomolecular material analysis.

Strongly exhanced secondary ion yields in TOF-SIMS studies with very highly charged primary ions up to Th{sup 71+}

Conference Schenkel, T ; Briere, M A ; Schach van Wittenau, A E ; ...

The advent of new ion source technologies, such as the LLNL EBIT (Electron Beam Ion Trap), has made low emittance ({approximately}0.2 {pi} mm mrad) beams of slow (several keV/amu) very highly charged ions (up to U{sup 92+}) accessible for ion solid interaction studies. The prominent feature in the interaction of highly charged ions with surfaces, compared to conventional singly charged ions, is a dominance of electronic over collisional effects. Up to several hundreds of electrons (for Th{sup 70+} on Au{sup 2}) are emitted from an area of a few square nanometers per incident ion. In insulators, this local disturbance ofmore »« less
Fragmentation of biomolecules using slow highly charged ions

Technical Report Ruehlicke, C ; Schneider, D ; Balhorn, R ; ...

We present first results of biomolecular fragmentation studies with slow highly charged ions (HCI). A layer of the tripeptide RVA was deposited on gold targets and irradiated with slow (few 100 keV) ions, e.g. Xe{sup 50+} and Xe{sup 15+}, extracted from the LLNL EBIT (electron beam ion trap). The secondary ions released upon ion impact were mass analyzed via Time-Of-Flight Secondary-Ion-Mass-Spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). The results show a strong dependence of the positive and negative ion yields on the charge state of the incident ion. We also found that incident ions with high charge states cause the ejection of fragments with amore »« less

Recent results on the interaction of slow few-electron high Z ions with solids

Conference Briere, M A

A brief review is presented of the recent results from studies of the interaction of slow (ca. keV/u) few electron high Z ions (e.g. to Kr{sup 34+}, Xe{sup 50+}, Th{sup 80+}) with metallic and insulating solid surfaces and near surface regions, using the extracted ion facility of the electron beam ion trap (EBIT) at L.L.N.L., with its newly developed UHV surface preparation and analysis capabilities. This system is of considerable interest due to its extreme non-equilibrium nature. The formation and decay of highly inverted {open_quotes}hollow atoms{close_quotes}, both outside and inside the solid are fascinating phenomena. Topics investigated include electron andmore »« less
Electronic sputtering and desorption effects in TOF-SIMS studies using slow highly charged ions like Au{sup 69+}

Conference Schenkel, T ; Briere, M A ; Schmidt-Boecking, H ; ...

Secondary ion yields from highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and SiO{sub 2} (native oxide on float zone silicon) targets at impact of slow (v {approx} 0.3 v{sub bohr}) highly charged ions have been measured by Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). A direct comparison of collisional and electronic effects in secondary ion production using a beam of charge state equilibrated 300 keV Xe{sup 1+} shows a secondary ion yield increase with incident ion charge of {>=}100.
