8. Research topic: Ion/surface collisions Energy range of interest: ~ 1- 100 eV Low collision energy: enough energy to break molecular bonds, fragmentation pattern is characteristic for both the projectile and the surface Projectiles: Hydrogen molecules: H 2 +, H 3 +, D 2 +, D 3 +, HD +, HD 2 + Hydrocarbons, i.e.: CD 3 +, C 2 H 6 +, C 2 H 4 +, C 2 D 6 +, C 2 D 4 + small hydrocarbon molecules, present in most vacuum devices, therefore important for modelling Plasma-wall interactions, break down graph for C 2 H 6 + well known. Surfaces: Stainless steel: data available, used for comparison Diamond surfaces: nanocristalline diamond on W-C bond with 6% Co; terminal step in air or H-atmosphere Beryllium: first experiments Tungsten Plasma sprayed Tungsten (Collaboration with IPP Garching): ongoing experiments Stainless steel with different surface coatings: Beryllium, Tungsten in cooperation with D.
