Popis: | The introduction of C 60 + as a sputter ion beam for ToF-SIMS has made it possible to acquire molecular depth profiles on a wide varietyof polymers. However, previous studies have indicated that certain classes of polymers undergo sputter-induced damage when bombarded with C 60 + that prevents obtaining stable molecular secondary ion signals as a function of depth. A number of different analytical parameters have been previously explored in attempts to improve depth profiling of these polymer classes. In this study, the effect of C 60 + incident angle on the ability to depth profile polycarbonate (PC) and polystyrene (PS) was investigated at angles from 48° to 76° with respect to the sample normal. This study indicates that the highest sputtering angle provided the best conditions for molecular depth profiling. |
