Dependence of the damage in optical metal/dielectric coatings on the energy of ions in irradiation experiments for space qualification

Abstract Terrestrial accelerator facilities can generate ion beams which enable the testing of the resistance of materials and thin film coatings to be used in the space environment. In this work, a $$\hbox {TiO}_2$$ TiO 2 /Al bi-layer coating has been irradiated with a $$\hbox {He}^+$$ He + beam at...
