Outline of Final Research Achievements

Negative ions play an important role in semiconductor manufacturing and nuclear fusion plasmas. In this study, to produce negative ions, a metal target surface was irradiated with a positive helium ion beam. The scattered negative ions were counted, and the target surface's work function was measured by photoemission spectroscopy and tuned by treatment with gaseous water. As a result, we succeeded in revealing a linear correlation between the work function and the negative ion yield. This experimental result were complemented with quantum chemical calculations that revealed the emergence of electronic resonance between an incident inert gas atom and the metallic surface. Charge transfer between the surface and an incident He center is facilitated by an electronic state of the He-water complex that exists below the Fermi level. This transfer mechanism appears to be the dominant mechanism of negative ion formation.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では、触媒基板表面に正イオンを照射し、二次生成物として発生する負イオンの生成量およびエネルギー分布を測定することに成功した。負イオン生成に関する物理の詳細な議論により、スパッタリング以外のイオン散乱の物理に新たな知見を与え、プラズマの界面反応・触媒科学の両面に有用な物理を明らかにすることができた。また、気相中の電子付着だけでなく、表面で生成される負イオンの物性を測定できるようになることで、将来の核融合発電に必要な負イオン源の開発や、原子層堆積(ALD)・エッチングなど負イオンを用いた新規材料プロセスへの応用に向けて有用な知見を与えることができたと考えている。
