When collimated beams of low energy ions are used to bombard materials, the surface often
develops a periodic pattern or “ripple” structure. Different types of patterns are observed to …

Low-energy ion-beam sputtering, ie the removal of atoms from a surface due to the impact of
energetic ions or atoms, is an inherent part of numerous surface processing techniques …

The bombardment of surfaces with low-energy ion beams leads to material erosion and can
be accompanied by changes in the topography. Under certain conditions this surface …

This article considers the fundamentals of what happens in a solid when it is impacted by a
medium-energy gallium ion. The study of the ion/sample interaction at the nanometer scale …

Research examining organic-matter hosted porosity has significantly increased during the
last decade due to greater focus on understanding hydrocarbon migration and storage in …

Modification of nanoscale surface topography is inherent to low-energy ion beam erosion
processes and is one of the most important fields of nanotechnology. In this report a …

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 …

Results of a survey of the morphological evolution of the surface of Si (111) are presented
for conditions in which regular patterned morphologies are spontaneously created during …

The evolution of stress in silicon, induced by argon ion bombardment up to fluences of 4.5×
1014ions/cm2, is studied using molecular dynamics simulations with empirical interatomic …

Stress shielding and osseointegration are two main challenges in bone regeneration, which
have been targeted successfully by chemical and physical surface modification methods …
