Abstract

We review older and more recent work concerning modification of thin films during irradiation with heavy ions in the electronic energy deposition regime: loss of H2 and N2 from the bulk of several thin film materials, electronic sputtering of SiO2 and oxygen diffusion across an interface in SiO2.
