Abstract: | The interactions of chemically reactive ions with insulator and metal surfaces result in specific chemical effects which must be considered in sputtering, blistering, trapping and re-emission processes involving these projectiles. Chemical sputtering and chemical trapping of ion beam flux are examples of chemical interaction effects which are discussed. Bombardment of a niobium surface by oxygen and nitrogen ions results in the formation of sputtered niobium oxide and nitride molecules. The molecular species are identified and characterized by means of their vibrational spectra using isotopic substitution and matrix isolation techniques. Results using matrix isolation spectroscopy for both physical and chemical sputtering studies on materials of CTR interest are presented. Chemical trapping is evaluated as a method of chemically pumping the major fraction of ion beam flux in the divertor of next generation tokamaks. |
