AIM Studies of polyatomic ions in scattering experiments: (i) Energy transfer at surfaces (ion activation in MS) (ii) Surface-induced dissociation- chemical reactions at surfaces (iii) Survival probability in surface collisions SURFACES INVESTIGATED - self-assembled monolayers (SAM surfaces) CF-SAM: -S-(CF2)10-CF3 CH-SAM: -S-(CH2)11-CH3 COOH-SAM: -S-(CH2)11-COOH - stainless steel (covered by hydrocarbons) - carbon surfaces HOPG (highly-oriented pyrolytic graphite) a) covered by hydrocarbons b) at 1000K (“clean”) Tokamak bricks PROJECTILE IONS ethanol polyatomic ions : C2H5OH+•, C2H5O+, C2H5OH2+; toluene ions small hydrocarbon ions : CH3+, CH4+•, CH5+ (D, 13C); C2Hx+(x=2-5), C3Hn+ (n=3-8) MEASUREMENTS - mass spectra of ion products - translational energy distributions of ion products - angular distributions of ion products
EXPERIMENT PROCESSES OBSERVED • neutralization of ions (survival pobability) • surface-induced dissociations (energy partitioning) • chemical reactions at surfaces (H-atom, CHn-transfer) • quasi-elastic scattering of projectiles
ENERGY PARTITIONING IN POLYATOMIC ION-SURFACE COLLISIONS BASIC EQUATION ETOT = Etr + (Eint) = E’int+ E’tr+ E’surf EVALUATION P(E’int)from the extent of fragmentation (mass spectra) + break-down pattern P(E’tr)from direct measurements P(E’surf)from the difference DEPENDENCE ON -incident ion energy - incident angle - type of surface - surface temperature
ENERGY PARTITIONING EXAMPLE OF EVALUATION FOR CF-SAM, Etr= 21.1 eV mass spectra P(E’int)P(E’tr)P(v’) CONCLUSIONS - strongly inelastic collisions - practically the same velocity distributions for product ions: dissociation after the interaction with the surface in a unimolecular way
P(E’int): INTERNAL ENERGY OF SURFACE-EXCITED IONS P(E’int) P( E’int) incident energy dependence (CF-SAM) various surfaces
P(E’int): INTERNAL ENERGY DISTRIBUTIONS OF SURFACE-EXCITED IONS Projectile ion: CH4+ Heated and non-heated HOPG surface Mean internal energy ~ 5-6% Einc
ENERGY PARTITIONING INCIDENT ANGLE DEPENDENCE INCIDENT ENERGY DEPENDENCE CF-SAM, Einc = 22 eV SS-hydrocarbons, N=600
ENERGY PARTITIONING DIFFERENT SURFACES CONCLUSIONS - P(E’int)does not depend on incident angle - relative fractions of P(E’int),P(E’tr),P(E’surf)practically independent of collision energy - P(E’int) practically the same for all studied surfaces (Epeak~6% Etr), only for CF-SAM about 3-times higher (~18%)
MASS SPECTRA CDX+, HOPG, Einc = 51.6eV, FN=60o HEATED NON HEATED C2Xn+ C3 C2Xn+ C3 C2Xn+ C3
SUGGESTED MECHANISMS • C2X3+ (X=H,D) formation :interaction of the projectile with terminal CH3 - group • CD4H+ formation :interaction of CD4+. with terminalH-atom, direct H-atom transfer • C3+ - group formation :C3H3+ mainly reaction, C3H5+ (C3H7+) mainly sputtering s(CD4H+) : s(diss) : s(C2H3+) = 10 : 3: 1
PRODUCT ION TRANSLATION ENERGY DISTRIBUTION CD5+, HOPG, FN=60o HEATED NON HEATED 51.6eV CONCLUSIONS: 1.Practically the same velocity of product ion species - dissociation after surface interaction 2. Inelastic collisions: E’tr of product ions: heated ~ 75% Einc non-heated ~ 40-50% Einc

CONCLUSIONS 1. Energy transfer in collisions of polyatomic ions with surfaces: - unimolecular decomposition after surface interaction - internal excitation of projectiles: independent of incident angle, mean value mostly about 6% of incident E (CF-SAM: about 18%) - translational energy of products: decreases with incident angle - relative fractions (P(E’int), P(E’tr), P(E’surf)) do not change with incident energy 2. Initial internal energy of projectile ions: fully available in dissociative processes 3. Survival probability on C/hydrocabons: - about 0.1 % for cations of RE>10.5 eV, - about 1-10 % for cations of RE<10.5 eV (closed-shell ions) 4. Chemical reactions of radical hydrocarbon ions on C/hydrocarbons: - H-atom transfer, - C2 from C1 or C3 from C2: interaction of the projectile with the terminal CH3- group
MOTIVATION FROM FUSION RESEARCH 1.Collisions of hyperthermal particles with solid surfaces (limiters, divertors) leads to erosion of material by physical and chemical processes 2. Products of these collsions (ionic, neutral) again interact with plasma and solid surfaces 3. Importance of molecular species EARLIER DEMAND Interaction of atomic and molecular species with exposed surfaces of fusion vessels (carbon, tungsten): from plasma temperature energy range 10 - 50 eV NEW DEMAND Lower plasma temperatures important, too: surface interactions of hyperthermal particles of energies 1 - 10 eV
