Both surfaces of a commercial float glass were treated simultaneously by a low-temperature argon plasma generated by an inductively coupled rf power supply. The effect of plasma processing on the outer surface composition of both sides of the glass was analysed by means of the ion scattering spectroscopy technique. The observed recomposition of the outer surface atoms was interpreted as a result of the action of the thermal and electric fields created by the plasma on particular glass constituents.
