Abstract:
Changes in the surface morphology and optical properties of K208 glass samples with an ITO film as a result of exposure to 20-keV protons at a dose of 0.2–1.0 mC/cm$^2$ and a proton current density of 9 nA/cm$^2$ were studied. It has been experimentally shown that the presence of an ITO film affects the nature of the change in morphology and is the main cause of the degradation of the optical properties of samples during proton irradiation.
