Ion beam erosion can be used as a process for achieving surface smoothing at microscopic
length scales and for the preparation of ultrasmooth surfaces, as an alternative to …

Ion beam irradiation of solid surfaces may result in the self-organized formation of well-
defined topographic nanopatterns. Depending on the irradiation conditions and the material …

We show that the “sputter patterning” topographical instability is determined by the effects of
ion impact-induced prompt atomic redistribution and that erosion—the consensus …

A software package for performing modelling and analysis of GISAXS (grazing-incidence
small-angle X-ray scattering) data within the distorted-wave Born approximation has been …

We study the patterns formed on ion sputtered Si surfaces as a function of ion energy and
incidence angle, and identify a region in parameter space where the flat surface is stable …

We study the patterns formed on Ar+ ion-sputtered Si surfaces at room temperature as a
function of the control parameters ion energy and incidence angle. We observe the …

The artificial tailoring of magnetic anisotropy by manipulating surface and interface
morphology is attracting widespread interest for its application in spintronic and magnetic …

We propose and study a continuum model for the dynamics of amorphizable surfaces
undergoing ion-beam sputtering (IBS) at intermediate energies and oblique incidence. After …

Nanoripple patterns with long-range order have been fabricated on amorphous dielectric
films by Xe+ ion etching. They are used as templates to elaborate organized arrays of …

Non-conventional methods of machining are used for many engineering applications where
the traditional processes fail to be cost-effective. Such processes include Ion Beam …
