Sputtering of ErD$sub 2$: experiment and theory

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4189221
Experimental measurements were made of the sputtering yield of ErD$sub 2$ targets bombarded by D and A ions in the energy range 50-400 keV. A semiempirical sputtering theory is presented that relates sputtering to the energy deposited into atomic collisions beneath the target surface as well as at the surface. The theory accurately predicts the sputtering yields for both D and A bombardment. Additional calculated sputtering yields for ErD$sub 2$ targets are presented which should allow extrapolation to any ion in the range of Z = 1 to Z = 36 with an accuracy better than 50 percent.
