The theoretical threshold energy is 160.84 eV for the xenon-carbon combination. These experimental results are different from the semi-empirical formula proposed by Yamamura and Tawara. We have calculated the sputtering yields of carbon under the xenon ion bombardment with a Monte Carlo code ACAT which is based on the binary collision approximation. The yields of carbon calculated with ACAT are in good agreement with the semi-empirical formula, but differ from the experiments under low-energy xenon bombardment. This discrepancy is believed to be due to the accumulation of xenon onto graphite. The semi-empirical formula and the above ACAT results do not consider this accumulation. In order to quantify this effect, we have calculated with ACAT for the carbon - xenon composite material as a function of xenon concentration. The results of ACAT with 14% xenon atoms in graphite are in good agreement with the experimental data., 形態: カラー図版あり, Physical characteristics: Original contains color illustrations, 資料番号: AA0064642004, レポート番号: JAXA-RR-09-004}, title = {低エネルギーカーボンスパッタリングに関するXe蓄積効果}, year = {2010} }
