Popis: We present experimental data on the angular distribution of Irganox 1010 organic molecules sputtered by large argon gas cluster projectiles (E/n = 5 eV, 10 keV Ar2000). Ejection probability distributions as derived from deposit patterns on planar collector surfaces were recorded at various angles of incidence of the primary cluster ion beam. The sputtered material is ejected at polar angles, on average, greater than 45° from the surface normal. At normal incidence there is no azimuthal dependence in the ejecta distribution, but the ejecta are forward directed even at incidence angles as low as 15°. After this initial rapid change, the ejecta distribution shows a rather weak dependence on the incidence angle of the primary ion beam and the polar, and azimuthal angles of preferred ejection remain relatively constant. Ejecta distributions agree with previously published results from molecular dynamics simulations for organic molecules sputtered with large argon gas cluster projectiles and are consistent with...
