EFFECT OF H+-IONS IMPLANTATION AND Ar+-IONS BOMBARDMENT ON THE PROPERTIES OF LiNbO3 CRYSTAL SURFACES
-
Abstract
The H+-ions implantation and Ar+-ions bombardment did not cause near-surface decomposition of LiNbO3, but it resulted in the alteration of the physical properties. The XPS (x-ray photoelectron energy spectroscopy) measurement was used to characterize the properties of the radiation damaged surface layer of LiNbO3. -
