Abstract

The surface morphology of pure Mg was studied by means of the cathode lens mode equipped scanning low energy electron microscope after bombarding with Ga+ ions at various energies (10,20,30, and 40keV) and incident angles (0°, 30°, 45°, and 60°). In accordance with the Bradley-Harper theory at off-normal angles of incidence ripples were observed on the irradiated areas. The Monte Carlo program SRIM2008 was used to estimate the sputtering yield and damage depth.
