Abstract
For H and O atoms incident on conversion surface with energies ranging from 195 to 1000 eV and impact angles from 6° to 15° we measured the angular scattering distributions and the ionization yields. Atomic force microscope and laser ablation ionization mass spectrometry analyses were applied to further characterize the sample. Based on a figure-of-merit, which included the ionization yield and angular scatter distribution, the B-doped CVD surface was compared to other, previously characterized conversion surfaces, including e.g. an undoped CVD diamond with a metallized backside. For particle energies below 390 eV the performance of the B-doped CVD conversion surfaces is comparable to surfaces studied before. For higher energies the figure-of-merit indicates a superior performance. From our studies we conclude that the B-doped CVD diamond sample is well suited for its application on future space missions.
