Scientific understanding of any kind of radiation effects starts from the primary damage, ie
the defects that are produced right after an initial atomic displacement event initiated by a …

Materials subjected to high dose irradiation by energetic particles often experience severe
damage in the form of drastic increase of defect density, and significant degradation of their …

In this Article, I review the development of computer simulation techniques for studying
radiation effects in materials from 1946 until 2018. These developments were often closely …

Nanostructured carbon materials are potentially of great technological interest for the
development of electronic,, catalytic, and hydrogen-storage systems,. Here we describe a …

Manipulating matter at the nanometre scale is important for many electronic, chemical and
biological advances,,, but present solid-state fabrication methods do not reproducibly …

Ripples are formed on the surface of solid materials after interaction with laser pulses of high
intensity/irradiance. When ultra-short sub-1 ps laser pulses are used, the observed …

We derive a stochastic nonlinear continuum equation to describe the morphological
evolution of amorphous surfaces eroded by ion bombardment. Starting from Sigmund's …

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 …

Surface etching by ion sputtering can be used to pattern surfaces. Recent studies using the
high-spatial-resolution capability of the scanning tunnelling microscope revealed in fact that …

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 …
