Abstract
Molecular oxygen and hydrogen ions were scattered at grazing incidence from several diamond-like carbon (DLC) surfaces in the energy range from 190 eV to 2400 eV. Most surfaces were hydrogen terminated. For incident positive oxygen ions, scattered negative ion fractions of up to 33% were recorded, and for incident positive hydrogen ions, negative ion fractions of more than 5% were measured. These values are among the highest ever reported, especially for oxygen. They have been matched only by results of scattering experiments using a hydrogen terminated surface of natural diamond.
