N. Kakutani et al., STRONG CHARGE-STATE DEPENDENCE OF H-2(+) SPUTTERING INDUCED BY SLOW HIGHLY-CHARGED IONS( AND H), Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 96(3-4), 1995, pp. 541-544
Secondary ion emission has been studied for very slow (similar to 0.01
nu(B)) highly charged Ar and N ions bombarding C-60 containing hydrog
en as an impurity. It is found that the fragmentations of C-60 are ver
y rare even for Ar16+ bombardments. On the other hand, the sputtering
of H+ and H-2(+) has been observed to increase drastically as a functi
on of incident charge q like q(gamma) (e.g., gamma similar to 4.6 for
H+ sputtering by 500 eV Ar-q+).
