Abstract
The thermal desorption spectra of low−energy inert gas ions implanted into a nickel crystal are reported. Particularly simple, surface sensitive, first−order desorption transients are obtained at low−implantation energies and at low−incident doses. Desorption rate constants are derived for one of the well−resolved desorption transients and allow a comparison of theoretical peak profiles with the experimental measurement. A diffusion process is observed for the desorption of high−energy (1−7 keV) neon in nickel and the activation energy for neon diffusion in nickel is obtained.
