Elastic Emission

Temperature-dependent interfacial structural changes at temperatures of 100 K and UHV conditions that were observed via HREELS vibrational analysis were interpreted as molecular reorientation on the surface the difference in emission signals at 300 and 100 K was also attributed to ion rearrangement at the interface, and not to ionic liquid decomposition [19]. The overall results from elastic emission and electron energy loss signals confirmed again that both cation and anions are found on the top layers irrespective of temperature, but HREELS data alone could not provide specific details on the exact reorientation [19]. 

Plasma Chemical Vaporization Machining and Elastic Emission Machining... 

Plasma chemical vaporization machining (PCVM) and elastic emission machining (EEM) are ultraprecision machining methods based on chemical reactions that were developed in our laboratory. Their concepts and the results of basic research were described in a previous edition of Crystal Growth Technology [1, 2]. In this chapter, the results on both PCVM and EEM achieved since the first pubH-cation are described. In addition, a new abrasive-free planarization method called catalyst-referred etching (CARE) is introduced in the last part of this chapter.
