Abstract

The ion-atom collision is used as a tool to investigate solid surfaces1–5 . Composition and its depth dependence can be determined up to a thickness of about 1 pro with a resolution of the order of 0.01 μm using Rutherford backscattering (RBS) technique. The reduction of the yield due to the alignment of a low index axis of a single crystal target with the analyzing beam direction 1,6) can be used to determine the presence of defects, their natu re and amount. Other effects of the ion-atom collision1,5 as the emission of characteristics X-ray or of the product of a nuclear reaction, are used for analytical purposes too.
