simulation for a 1-μm-diameter Al particle on a C substrate at vari-
ous beam energies: a 5 keV, b 10 keV, c 20 keV, and d 30 keV. Note the
absence of the C peak from the substrate at E 0 = 5 keV, its appearance
at E 0 = 10 keV and the increase relative to the Al peak as the beam
energy increases23.6 · Particle Analysis
