摘要
An analysis is provided of the data of Cristaudo et al. for the sputtering yields of polystyrene and polymethylmethacrylate by argon cluster ion beams as a function of their molecular weight. This analysis is made using the universal sputtering equation of Seah to evaluate the effect of the end-group density on the parameter A. This parameter is thought to be related to the average energy per atom (excluding hydrogen) to liberate fragments and it is shown that A decreases as the end-group density rises in the manner expected. Equations are provided relating A to the molecular weight or the end-group density that are obeyed for both materials. Copyright (c) 2014 Crown Copyright.
