Moreover, the NBI beam is wide enough to irradiate large samples (<20 cm diameter), allowing redeposition studies of the eroded and evaporated material. | Moreover, the NBI beam is wide enough to irradiate large samples (<20 cm diameter), allowing redeposition studies of the eroded and evaporated material. | ||
