Abstract In recent years Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) has revealed itself as a powerful
technique to induce surface nanopatterns with a large number of potential applications …

Surface nanopatterning induced by ion beam irradiation (IBI) has emerged as an effective
nanostructuring technique since it induces patterns on large areas of a wide variety of …

The formation of periodic patterns on the surfaces of many solid materials undergoing ion-
beam irradiation has long been known. The advent of high resolution characterization …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have established the sputtering yields of carbon
under the low-energy bombardment of noble gas ions. Here, we upscale these MD results to …

We review and augment our recent work which demonstrates that a surface layer of altered
composition can have a crucial effect on pattern formation induced by ion bombardment of a …

We present a model for the effect of stress on thin amorphous films that develop atop ion-
irradiated silicon, based on the mechanism of ion-induced anisotropic plastic flow. Using …

In the crater function approach to the erosion of a solid surface by a broad ion beam, the
average crater produced by the impact of an ion is used to compute the constant coefficients …

Our simulations show that dispersion can have a crucial effect on the patterns produced by
oblique-incidence ion sputtering. It can lead to the formation of raised and depressed …

Several proposed mechanisms and theoretical models exist concerning nanostructure
evolution on III-V semiconductors (particularly GaSb) via ion beam irradiation. However …

We advance a theory of ripple formation on the surface of an initially elemental material that
is subjected to concurrent oblique-incidence impurity deposition and normal-incidence ion …
