Energy loss, range, path length, time-of-flight, straggling, multiple scattering, and nuclear interaction probability: In two parts. Part 1. For 63 compounds Part 2. For elements 1 ⩽ Z ⩽ 92

TL;DR: In this paper, extensive tables have been prepared of the mean energy loss, pathlength, range, multiple scattering, path length straggling, time-of-flight, and nonelastic collision probability for protons of energy from 1 keV through 10 GeV in all elements having atomic number from 1 through 92, and in many compounds and mixtures.

A model for the formation of amorphous Si by ion bombardment

TL;DR: In this paper, a phenomenological model was proposed to account for the variation of the critical dose required to produce a continuous amorphous layer by ion bombardment with ion, target, temperature, and, with minor additional assumptions, dose rate.

Sputtering—a review of some recent experimental and theoretical aspects

TL;DR: In this article, a brief outline of the present sputtering theory for a random solid, recent results of the sputtering yieldS for polycrystalline targets are discussed, in particular in view of the influence of the projectile mass and the bombarding angle.

Basic physics of radiation damage production

TL;DR: The basic physical processes underlying the production of displacement damage in irradiated solids are briefly discussed, including topics from nuclear, atomic, and solid-state physics as mentioned in this paper, and the concepts of elementary cascade theory are presented as a basis for intuitive descriptions of the damage process.

Nonlinear effects in heavy-ion sputtering

TL;DR: In this article, the sputtering yield per atom was compared for atomic and molecular ions in very dense collision cascades, and the results supported the suggestion of a sputtering enhancement in dense cascades.
