1994). Rutherford backscattering is a valuable tool for getting quasi nondestructive depth profiles of thin films on surfaces. Due to their high primary energy, He2+ ions penetrate into solid surfaces up to ca. 1 pm and emerge back to the vacuum after a binary collision process with a target atom. This collision process follows Eq. 1 5 10 15 20 sputter time [min] Figure 1-27. , 1994);cationic fraction X,,=[Cr]/([Cr] +[Fe]). The energy spectrum of the backscattered helium ions yields a peak for each atomic species.
Figure 1 - 1 1 presents a simple diagram of the important parts of a potentiostatic circuit which is mainly built with operational amplifiers. The main potentiostatic amplifier followed by further amplifiers, which are not shown here, controls the potential difference between the working (WE) and the reference electrodes (RE) and supplies the necessary current at the output. The adder sums up the incoming voltage pulses and ramps and the stationary value, which is given to the noninverting input of the potentiostat.
1-9b). , 1974). Due to the intense local dissolution in the individual pits, the ohmic drop may not be compensated electronically for the whole electrode. (1-37) K Therefore the reference electrode is placed with its Haber-Luggin capillary as close to the electrode surface as possible, thus measuring the electrode potential without large deviations due to a possible ohmic drop within the electrolyte. However, it should not get too close in order to avoid the formation of an artificial crevice. As a general rule, the distance should be two to three times the diameter of the capillary.
