Basically, the crater diameter can be theoretically linked to the crater depth according to the model given by Bitter et al., which is presented in more detail in the next section.

More important, the originality of the structure, pattern, contour and texture of the irradiated crater depth will be sustaining from any physical and chemical distortion before proceed to the sample analysis.

This might be due to almost of the top coating for sample B8 is not removed at 210-250 J/[cm.sup.2], but conversely removed at the centre of the crater depth obtained at 260-300 J/[cm.sup.2] as shown in Appendix 1.

A stylus profilometer (KLA Tencor Instruments, Milipitas, CA) was used to monitor the mass loss (crater depth) from the exposed surfaces of the polished polymer samples.

To convert each measured surface profile into a single data point, the average crater depth was calculated over the middle 3 mm (0.12 inch) of each measured crater.

However, as impact angle decreases, so does crater depth (Gault and Wedekind 1978; Pierazzo and Melosh 2000).
