The influence of selective sputtering on surface composition

The time dependence of the surface composition of a one-phase, two-component homogeneous system is calculated assuming different sputter yields for the two components. It is shown for a special case that the amount of material which has to be removed before a steady state situation is obtained, is a...

Zusammenfassung:The time dependence of the surface composition of a one-phase, two-component homogeneous system is calculated assuming different sputter yields for the two components. It is shown for a special case that the amount of material which has to be removed before a steady state situation is obtained, is approximately one monolayer. Signals obtainable with different modern surface analytical methods under steady state conditions are discussed.
