Surface sticking probabilities for sputtered atoms of ^(93)Nb and ^(103)Rh

Abstract

The sticking probabilities for sputtered atoms of ^(93)Nb and ^(103)Rh incident on Al_2O_3 surfaces have been measured using the backscattering of MeV heavy ions. In the circumstance where the collecting surface has become thickly covered, the sticking probabilities integrated over the energy distribution of sputtered atoms are 0.97 ± 0.01 and 0.95 ± 0.01 for ^(93)Nb and ^(103)Rh, respectively. In the limit of negligible areal coverage of the collector. the accuracy is less; in this case the sticking probabilities are 0.97^+_(0.08) and 0.95^(+0.05)_(0.08).
