Measurement of the sputtering yield with a 3d stylus surface mapping system: application to copper and α-brass
Résumé
This paper present a method for determing the sputtering yield of a material bombarded by an ion beam, using a 3D stylus surface mapping system. Data obtained of copper are discussed. The influences on the sputtering yield of progressive addition of zinc is observed. The results are in good agreement with previous theoretical results.
