Nanopatterning of solid surfaces by low-energy ion bombardment has received
considerable interest in recent years. This interest was partially motivated by promising …

Therapeutic agents in cancer treatment are aimed at rapidly dividing cells, limiting their
multiplication, and promoting apoptosis. Lack of selectivity of these conventional methods …

Ion induced nanopattern formation has been experimentally investigated for many different
ion-target combinations and different ion irradiation conditions. Several theories and models …

The formation of nanopatterns induced by low-energy (0.5–1.5 keV) Xe+ ion-beam
sputtering of amorphous alumina thin films is investigated by atomic force microscopy and …

Computational approaches toward simulating chemical systems and evaluating
experimental data has gathered great momentum in recent years. The onset of more …

Intricate topographical patterns can form on the surface of crystalline Ge (001) subject to low-
energy ion irradiation in the reverse epitaxy regime, ie, at elevated temperatures which …

We present a real-space formulation and implementation of Kohn-Sham Density Functional
Theory suited to twisted geometries, and apply it to the study of torsional deformations of X …

It is demonstrated that the quality of nanoscale ripple patterns on silicon surfaces can be
substantially improved by applying sequential ion-beam sputtering. A flat silicon surface is …

The modelling and simulation of low-dimensional nanoelectronic devices is important,
because the semiconductor industry has scaled transistors down to the sub-10 nm regime …

The ion-induced nanoscale pattern formation on a crystalline Ge (001) surface is observed
in situ by means of grazing incidence small angle x-ray scattering (GISAXS). Analysis of the …
