Popis: The influence of the crystallographic orientation of the surface on ion implantation damage was studied in MgO single crystals. For this purpose, rare gas ions (150 keV-argon) or reactive ions (150 keV-niobium) were implanted at room temperature in (100) and (110) MgO surfaces at a fluence of 5,10 16 ions.cm -2 . With the mean of Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy in channeling geometry (RBS-C), it is shown that the damage depends on the crystallographic orientation of the MgO surface. The (100) irradiated surfaces exhibit a localized damage as predicted by TRIM code calculations while in (100) MgO, the defects extend in depth. Chemical effects are also dependent on the crystallographic orientations of the implanted surfaces : the substitutional fraction of the implanted niobium determined by RBS-C and the niobium binding energy estimated by XPS analysis are different in the (110) and (100) MgO irradiated surfaces.
