Ion Beam Modification of Insulators by Paolo Mazzoldi,George W. Arnold Pdf
This volume provides a current treatise on the chemical and physical property modifications induced by ion beams in insulators, including applications in astrophysics, geophysics, material technology, optoelectronics, memory devices and polymers. An extensive review is given of experimental methods for the analysis of ion bombarded insulators, including optical and structural methods, resonance, energetic ion methods and surface techniques. An appendix of more than 90 pages presents the most extensive ion-range tables for insulators so far. These tables cover a wide regime of energies and a wide variety of insulating targets, including glasses and many organic and ceramics materials. The book will be of particular value to research physicists, chemists, astrophysicists and geophysicists as well as engineers interested in optoelectronics, polymers, nuclear energy and material technology.
