Abstract

One serious issue limiting the accuracy of Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) is that the stopping powers of channeled and non-channeled particles differ substantially. Consequently, it brings errors not only in the energy-depth conversion of RBS spectra, but also in the quantitative analysis of the disorder profile. In this study, we present measurements of the stopping powers of 4He+ ions channeled along crystallographic axes of Si〈1 0 0〉, 〈1 1 0〉, 〈1 1 1〉, and also along crystallographic planes of (1 0 0) and (1 1 0) in the energy region of 0.6-2 MeV. The aim of this study is to provide an accurate energy-depth conversion for channeling RBS data.
