| Résumé | Although the theory of high-angle elastic scattering of fast electrons is well developed, accurate calculation of the incident-energy threshold and cross section for surface-atom sputtering is hampered by uncertainties in the value of the surface-displacement energy Ed and its angular dependence. We show that reasonable agreement with experiment is achieved by assuming a non-spherical escape potential with Ed=(5/3) Esub, where Esub is the sublimation energy. Since field-emission sources and aberration-corrected TEM lenses have become more widespread, sputtering has begun to impose a practical limit to the spatial resolution of microanalysis for some specimens. Sputtering can be delayed by coating the specimen with a thin layer of carbon, or prevented by reducing the incident energy; 60 keV should be sufficiently low for most materials. |
