Electron-exposure effects on the desorption of F- (Cl-) and F+ (Cl+) ions f
rom 1 ML CF2Cl2/ Ru(0001), 1 ML CF2Cl2/1 ML Xe/Ru(0001) and 5 hit CF2Cl2/Ru
(0001) surfaces have been studied. It is observed that for a less than or e
qual to 1 ML CF2Cl2/Ru surface, the anion yield shows a rapid decrease with
increasing electron exposure, while the cation yield exhibits an increase.
In contrast, an opposite behavior is observed for a 5 ML CF2Cl2/Ru surface
. For 1 ML CF2C12 adsorbed on a 1 ML Xe-spacer layer, the effect tends to s
witch the behavior from the monolayer to the multilayer. These results indi
cate that Cl- ions accumulated on the multilayer or the monolayer surface o
n a Xe spacer by the polarization potential have an electrostatic effect on
the desorption yields of anions and cations. Moreover, from the attenuatio
n of the F- yield of a 1 ML CF2Cl2-covered surface with electron exposure,
the electron-induced dissociation is estimated to be 9.2(+/-2.0) x 10(16) c
m(2).
