Description
Mid-IR spectra of pellet n°2 of the Allende meteorite, with different irradiation spots on the surface.
Number of spectra
3
Variable type(s)
  • irradiation dose
Comments
We irradiated two pellets of Allende using the SIDONIE isotope separator in CSNSM, Orsay, using $He^+$ and $Ar^+$ ions at 40 keV. Sample were mounted vertically and ion irradiation was performed at normal incidence. We produced four separate irradiation spots (4 mm in diameter each) on each pellet, using different fluences: $5 10^{14}, 2 10^{15}, 1 10^{16}, 3 10^{16}$ for $He^+$ ions $cm^{-2}$, and 1 10^{14}, 5 10^{14}, 2 10^{15}, 6 10^{15} for $Ar^+$ ions $cm^{-2}$. Earlier irradiated spots were masked to protect them from contamination of sputter deposits from the subsequent irradiation steps. A central area (diameter 2 mm) of each pellet remained non-irradiated.
