Low-energy ion scattering: A quantitative method?

Low-energy ion beamline scattering apparatus for surface science investigations

We report on the design, construction, and performance of a high current monolayers/ s , mass-filtered ion beamline system for surface scattering studies using inert and reactive species at collision energies below 1500 eV. The system combines a high-density inductively coupled plasma ion source, high-voltage floating beam transport line with magnet mass-filter and neutral stripping, decelerato...

LOW-ENERGY-ION ENHANCED DIFFUSION AT THE SURFACE OF METALS

Radiation enhanced diffusion at the surface of metals has been observed and studied for low-energy nitrogen ions at the surface of copper. The displacement of the target atoms during irradiation creates vacancies and other defects near the surface, thus enhancing the diffusion of implanted materials toward the surface and also into the solid. The mechanism has been studied here by a specia...

Damage formation and annealing studies of low energy ion implants in silicon using medium energy ion scattering

Low energy Skyrmion-Skyrmion scattering.

We study the scattering of two Skyrmions at low energy and large separation. We use the method proposed by Manton for truncating the degrees of freedom of the system from in nite to a manageable nite number. This corresponds to identifying the manifold consisting of the union of the low energy critical points of the potential along with the gradient ow curves joining these together and by posit...

Low-energy pion-nucleon scattering

An analysis of low-energy charged pion-nucleon data from recent pp experiments is presented. From the scattering lengths and the Goldberger-Miyazawa-Oehme ~GMO! sum rule we find a value of the pion-nucleon coupling constant of f 50.075660.0007. We also find, contrary to most previous analyses, that the scattering volumes for the P31 and P13 partial waves are equal, within errors, corresponding ...
