Originální abstrakt

Experimental spectra from Medium-Energy Ion Scattering were compared to Monte-Carlo simulations (employing the TRBS code) to obtain information on the scattering potential. The impact of uncertainties in the interatomic potential on quantification of sample properties such as thickness, composition or electronic stopping was investigated for different scattering geometries: backscattering and transmission. For backscattered He ions with tens of keV primary energy the scattering potential was found to overestimate the multiple scattering background in the energy spectra resulting in an uncertainty of < 3 % in quantitative analysis. Light ions transmitted through a sample for equivalent path length in the medium are only affected minorly by changes in the scattering potential. This effect becomes more distinct for heavier primary ions.
