The well-controlled nitrogen doped graphite with graphitic nitrogen located in the zigzag edge and/or vacancy sites can be realized using the low energy nitrogen sputtering. The doping mechanism of nitrogen ions is also discussed.

With tips of different hardness, we analyzed the effect of the hardness and shape of the actual AFM tip on the measurement of the best GaSb quantum dot (QD) structures induced by low energy Ar + sputtering. The comparison indicated that the complete information on the detailed dot shape and order structure can be determined with the hard and good tip, while with the soft or worn tip some information on the dot height and shape cannot be obtained. Our results suggest that, in order to obtain the complete surface information, the high hardness and good AFM tip should be used for semiconductor QD structures.

An ion-sputtering source was installed and evaluated as an emission spectrographic source for the analysis of metal surfaces and for the determination of in-depth concentration profiles. This source generates a direct current glow discharge in a low-pressure argon atmosphere between a hollow stainless-steel anode and the sample (the cathode) and sputters material at a controlled rate from the sample surface. The resultant spectrum of the sputtered material is recorded photographically, and the analysis is completed by conventional spectrographic techniques. The power supply of the source can be operated in either a constant dc mode or a square-wave dc mode, but better repeatability and accuracy have been achieved with the square-wave dc mode. Before any significant sputtering occurs with this source, the voltage must exceed 240 Volts, the threshold sputtering voltage. The sputtering rate increases with both source current and voltage. This source has been used for the quantitative analysis of the surface of steel products and the determination of changes in composition with depth below the surface.
