摘要: Electronic sputtering in polycrystalline LiF thin film by 120MeV Ag25+ is investigated. The sputter yields of Li and F for the different thicknesses (10–265nm) films are measured with online elastic recoil detection analysis technique. A reduction yield, from ∼2.3×106 to 2.2×104 atoms/ion, observed increase thickness. trend experimental results can be explained terms size effect following inelastic thermal spike model. confinement energy having smaller grains lower thickness higher temperature causing yield.
