Abstract/Summary:
The ;A new High Energy Elastic Spectroscopy (HEES) simulation code was developed which incorporates experimental parameters such as beam size and detector aperture dimensions in determining kinematic effects on recoiled and scattered particles. A polynomial fit to the recoil cross-section was employed in the simulation for the reproduction of experimental spectra acquired with various detector aperture dimensions. The results confirm the ability of this technique to determine the energy dependence of the system parameters.;The dependence of incorporated hydrogen in diamond-like carbon thin films on the bonding configuration was demonstrated using Elastic Recoil Spectroscopy (ERS) and X-ray excited Auger Electron Spectroscopy (XAES). The highest percentage of sp...
