The results are compared to theoretical models. The accuracy of the in situ weight-loss method was verified by thickness-decrease measurements using grazing incidence x-ray reflectometry, and results from both methods are in good agreement. These results provide accurate data sets for theoretical modeling in the near-threshold sputter regime and are of relevance for (optical) surfaces exposed to plasmas, as, for instance, in extreme ultraviolet photolithography.}, year = {2009}, journal = {Journal of Applied Physics}, volume = {106}, number = {5}, pages = {6}, month = {Sep}, isbn = {0021-8979}, url = {://000269850300134 }, note = {ISI Document Delivery No.: 494WNTimes Cited: 0Cited Reference Count: 21}, language = {English}, }
