Sputtering / SIMS theory
The SIMS and sputtering literature is quite well covered on the Web these days. A number of key people in the SIMS and sputtering fields, (including contributors to this book) have put their 'collected works' up as PDF files. In total, this amounts to several hundred papers which can be harvested for free. Here are a few links which might be of interest: (by Marcus Karolewski)
- Publications of N. Winograd (SIMS)
- Publications of B. Garrison (Sputtering and SIMS theory)
- Publications of H.M. Urbassek (Sputtering)
