Popis: The authors report on experiments regarding the electronic and nuclear sputtering of organic films. The newly built swift heavy ion induced particle emission and surface modifications setup [Meinerzhagen et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 87, 013903 (2016)] at the M1 Branch at the universal linear accelerator (UNILAC) beam line at GSI in Darmstadt, Germany, has been used for research on organic molecules in the electronic sputtering regime. This setup has the unique capability not only to investigate electronically sputtered ions by projectiles with kinetic energies up to several giga-electron-volt but also to detect their neutral counterparts as well by laser postionization. For this purpose, the experiment is equipped with a laser system delivering 157 nm pulses with photon energies of 7.9 eV to be utilized in single photon ionization. In addition to the investigation of sputtered ions and neutrals in the electronic sputtering regime, a comparison of typical fragments between fundamentally different sputtering ...
