Chanelling of boron ions with energy up to 100 keV in single crystal silicon. (USSR) In an experimental investigation of the chanelling of boron ions with energies of 30 and 100 keV in single crvstal silicon. the distribution of ion penetration depth was measired. It was found that the penetration depth was 1.5 to 2 times greater than that for an amorphous target.

(USSR) Doping of n-type silicon with resistivity of 0.035 to 150 ohm cm has been performed by mon~ner~tic boron ions with current density of 10 mA/cm*, and maximum energy of 300&0.15 keV at doses of 1x 1O15-1 x 10” cm-*. Uniformity of 10 per cent in doping was obtained by scanning. The doped samples were annealed in vacuum at 500 to 700°C for 30 minutes. The methods of sample investigation and the results obtained are described.

Corn~~~n of 5-15 MeV electron and positron ranges in substances with various Z numbers. (USSR) Results of experimental investigations of the ranges of 5 to 15 MeV electrons and positrons in carbon, aluminium, sulphur, titanium, cobalt, nickel, copper, molybdenum, cadmium and tungsten are presented. The experimental arrangement is described. A Faraday cylinder evacuated to pressure of 3 x IO-* torr was used for measurements of fluxes of electrons and positrons passed through absorbers.

33 427. Inthtence of some inorganic protective coatings on surface properties of silicon. (USSR) Using the method of reactive sputtering, SiO, films with properties at least as good as those of thermally grown films have been obtained. The influence of reactively sputtered films on surface properties of silicon is investigated. Accumulation of holes in the space charge layer is observed at the boundary of SiOz--Si. It is assumed that the reactively sputtered SiOa film has a negative charge with density 2 to 5 x 10” cm-+.

(USSR) A method of sample heating in an electron microscope is described in which the electron beam of the microscope is simultaneously employed for heating and imaging. The sample is attached to a thermally insulated tungsten disc. Temperatures in the range 800 to 3OOOW are measured by an optical pyrometer. An example of observation of a single crystal corundum layer prepared by heating amorphous AlzO, in the electron microscope, is presented. All intermediate stages of crystallization are visually observed. Also local boiling of the tungsten surface in vacuum at 3000°C is observed. The described method can be also used for investigation of the intemction of refractory materials in vacuum. G S Zhdanov, Prib Tekh Eksper, No 4, 1971, 219-220 (in Russian). 33 429. Solution cryostat with condensation pump.

(USSR) A glass chamber for LEED observations, utilizing the principle of post-acceleration of diffracted electrons, is described. Its construction possesses some significant simplifications in comparison to known diffraction chamber constructions. An electron gun employing an induction-free directly heated tantalum cathode is placed in a separate &amber connected to the main chamber by a narrow tube. The luminescent screen is deposited by spraying on the inner surface of the spherical part of the chamber. Diffraction patterns are observed with the aid of a partially reflecting prism a~angement. As the light from diffraction spots does not go through the grids and the layer of the phosphor is thin, the brightness of the observed spots is high. To obtain clean sample surfaces of and for observation of temperature dependent effects, the observed crystal may be heated by the passage of an electric current. The crystal surface can also be cleaned by ion bombardment in an argon discharge excited between the crystal the inner grid and maintained by electrons emitted from a tungsten
