The past few decades have witnessed growing research interest in developing powerful
nanofabrication technologies for three-dimensional (3D) structures and devices to achieve …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Fractal characterization of surface morphology can be useful as a tool for tailoring the
wetting properties of solid surfaces. In this work, rippled surfaces of Si (100) are grown using …

Abstract Au/C 20 H 12/n-Si SBD was fabricated and its characteristic parameters such as
reverse-saturation current (I o), ideality factor (n), zero-bias barrier height (Φ bo), series and …

The development of self-organized surface patterns on Si due to noble gas ion irradiation
has been studied extensively in the past. In particular, Ar ions are commonly used and the …

Ripple patterns on Si (100) surface have been fabricated using 200 keV Ar+ oblique ion
beam irradiation. Dynamical evolution of patterns is studied for the fluences ranging from 3× …

We report the decisive role of reactive ion impurities in the low energy Ar+ ion beam on
surface nanopattern formation. The effects of co-deposited impurities on pattern formation …

Tracer diffusivities provide the most fundamental information on diffusion in materials, and
are the foundation of robust diffusion databases that enable the use of the Onsager …
