Popis: The modification of the surface layer composition during Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis (ERDA) of different carbon materials which had been loaded with hydrogen has been determined experimentally. For an amorphous C:H layer there is an initial overall loss of about 7 × 10 6 hydrogen atoms and about 2.3 × 10 6 carbon atoms per incident 200 MeV iodine ion from the analysing beam. Besides erosion of the amorphous C:H layer there is a depletion of the hydrogen in the carbon layer. For ERDA analysis with 130 MeV Ni ions the hydrogen release is about a factor of 3 lower compared to the ERDA analysis with 200 MeV I-ions. However the Rutherford cross section is more than a factor of 7 larger for 200 MeV I-ions compared to 130 MeV Ni ions, resulting in a higher sensitivity for the ERDA analysis with the heavier ions.
