Isotopic effects in hydrocarbon formation due to low-energy H+/D+ impact on graphite
B.V. Mech,A.A. Haasz,J.W. Davis +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, mass spectrometry in the residual gas was used to measure the hydrocarbon formation rates as a function of pyrolytic graphite temperature (300-1000 K) and ion energy (10-200 eV/H or D) for mass-analysed H3+ and D2+ beams.
Journal ArticleDOI
Model for the chemical erosion of graphite due to low-energy H+ and D+ impact
TL;DR: In this article, a methane erosion yield model has been developed using the principal atomistic reactions outlined by Kuppers and co-workers with additional terms to account for the energy of the incident particles, namely, kinetic ejection and damage deposition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical erosion of pyrolytic graphite by low-energy H+ and D+ impact
B.V. Mech,A.A. Haasz,J.W. Davis +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present experimental measurements of methane and heavier hydrocarbon yields of pyrolytic graphite (300 K-1000 K temperature) for H+ impact energies of 10−200 eV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methane yield of pyrolytic graphite due to low-energy D+ impact
A.A. Haasz,B.V. Mech,J.W. Davis +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the low energy ion erosion of pyrolytic graphite has been measured for incident D+ energies from 10 to 200 eV, with deviations by as much as an order of magnitude.
