Surface modification on KBr(001) with slow highly charged ions in high fluence and high potential energy regime

Abstract

Studies of highly charged ion interactions with KBr(001) surfaces will be presented in the regime of high fluences (up to 1014 cm-2) and high potential energies (approx 70 keV). Dependent on experimental conditions the depth of the created nanostructures changes and can be explained by defect mediated desorption. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
