ESD of nonthermal halogen atoms from In-doped (001) KBr
نویسنده
چکیده
We have measured the kinetic energy distributions of neutral halogen atoms emitted due to electron-stimulated desorption (ESD) from In-doped (001)KBr single crystals. The concentration of In + in investigated samples varied between 10” and 10” particles/cm3. The measurements were performed at target temperature of 150°C. In all cases the energy spectra consist of two peaks. The distribution of low-energy particles can be described by the thermal (Maxwellian) energy spectrum. Particles contributing to the second peak have nonthermal kinetic energies. The emission of halogen atoms having nonthermal energies decreases with an increase in the concentration of In impurities. At the same time, the emission of thermal particles does not seem to be sensitive to variation of In+ concentration. At the temperatures of interest here, In’ impurities are known to be very efficient traps for migrating holes but not to influence the migration of H-centers. The obtained results support the model of nonthermal halogen desorption which requires a long range diffusion of holes from the bulk to the surface as a necessary step of the process.

The photostimulated desorption yield of neutral halogen atoms from KI, KBr, and RbI at several temperatures has been measured in the photon energy range between 5 and 30 eV using synchrotron radiation and quadrupole mass spectrometry. The features observed in the desorption yield are slightly correlated with the structures of the absorption spectra of each investigated material. The behavior of...
