ABSTRACT:
Improved apparatus and method for measuring ions scattered from a surface, to thereby determine the mass of atoms at the surface. The apparatus includes two analyzers, preferably an energy analyzer and mass analyzer positioned in tandem. The mass analyzer may be tuned to pass only ions having the same mass as ions in an incident ion beam, and to reject sputtered ions, some of which may have the requisite energy to pass through the energy analyzer under a given set of conditions.
