Diamond-like carbon conversion surfaces for space applications

Wurz, Peter; Schwadron, Nathan A.; Fuselier, Stephen A. +14 more

We present diamond-like carbon (DLC) conversion surfaces to detect particles with energy below 2 keV. Conversion surfaces have been widely applied in measurements of low-energy particles by instruments onboard planetary and heliophysics missions. Their effectiveness is characterized by the efficiency in changing the charge state of the incident pa…
