Low energy Xe+ sputter yields for alumina, Hiperco 50, and boron nitride

Electric thruster materials are often subject to erosion during normal device operation. As a result of the ion sputtering process, surface properties can be affected or the underlying material may be exposed, possibly compromising performance and/or lifetime. It is therefore important to know both...
