The Stewart-Thompson Theory applied to the Glow Discharge

The surface topography developed on copper-based and ferrous alloys after being sputtered in a glow discharge lamp and in an ion microprobe was studied by means of a scanning electron microscope and an ion microprobe mass analyser. The observed surface topography, though obtained under completely different conditions, was found to be similar to that predicted by the theory of Stewart and Thompson.
