Implantation studies of hydrogen by field ion microscopy and spectroscopy: Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6843385

The depth resolution of the Field Ion Microscope/Imaging Atom Probe (FIM/IAP) is of the order of a crystal d-spacing of the metal under investigations. The current study involved the application if the FIM/IAP to the study of low energy ions (<20 keV) implanted into metals to obtain depth profiles. Two ion species of immense technological importance were used, nitrogen and deuterium. Results of this investigation fall into four categories: (1) instrumentation development, (2) development of new experimental techniques, (3) the generation and interpretation of experimental data and (4) the determination of a number of characteristics of FIM which can influence the interpretation of experimental observations.
