Yakshin}, title = {Diffusion and interaction studied nondestructively and in real-time with depth-resolved low energy ion spectroscopy}, abstract = {An analysis procedure was developed that enables studying diffusion in ultrathin films by utilizing the depth-resolved information that is contained in the background of low energy ion scattering (LEIS) spectra. Using a high-sensitivity analyzer/detector combination allows for such a low ion dose that the ion-induced perturbation caused by this technique is negligible and not measurable with LEIS. The developed analysis procedure provides a unique opportunity to study diffusion processes in nanoscaled systems. It was applied to the Mo/Si system, a system that is relevant for extreme ultraviolet optics.}, year = {2009}, journal = {Applied Physics Letters}, volume = {94}, number = {6}, pages = {3}, month = {Feb}, isbn = {0003-6951}, url = {://000263409400084 }, note = {ISI Document Delivery No.: 408BWTimes Cited: 0Cited Reference Count: 19}, language = {English}, }
