Abstract
Sputtering of heavy water ice by 1-9 keV Xe ions was studied. The relative
yield of sputtered D2O molecules and the energy distribution of the D2O mol
ecules were measured in this energy range. In these energy distributions th
ere is a distinct contribution from linear collision-cascade sputtering, wh
ich decreases relatively to the contribution from other sputtering mechanis
ms with primary energy. A clear change of the sputtering yield from linear
to non-linear (elastic spike) sputtering was found as well. (C) 2000 Elsevi
