Ion-Channelling Effects In Scanning Microscopy And Ion Beam Writing With A 60 keV Ga+ Probe

Abstract
We describe the operation and functions of a scanning ion microscope. This has been shown capable of detecting ion-channelling phenomena in crystalline materials through the observation of crystallographic contrast in images obtained with the secondary electron and secondary ion signal. The instrument also provides on-line quantitative information on surface amorphization and on channelling effects in direct ion beam writing.
