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 …

Abstract Experimental studies of 10-40-keV Xe+ ion bombardment of Si at polar incidence
angles between 0 and 45 to the surface normal at temperatures between 100 and 300 K …

A theory is developed that explains the genesis of the strikingly regular hexagonal arrays of
nanodots that can form when the flat surface of a binary compound is subjected to normal …

We propose and study a continuum model for the dynamics of amorphizable surfaces
undergoing ion-beam sputtering (IBS) at intermediate energies and oblique incidence. After …

Damage production was studied in 250-MeV Xe-ion irradiated single-crystalline InP by
means of Rutherford backscattering spectrometry using a channeling technique and cross …

In this work, the influence of 100 MeV O 7+ high energy swift heavy ion beam irradiation at
varied fluences on the modification of properties of spray-deposited thin niobium pentoxide …

Ion-beam irradiation of an amorphizable material such as Si or Ge may lead to spontaneous
pattern formation, rather than flat surfaces, for irradiation beyond some critical angle against …

Spherical silica colloids with a diameter of 1.0 μm, made by wet chemical synthesis, were
irradiated with 2–16 MeV Au ions at fluences ranging from 2× 10 14to 11× 10 14cm− 2. The …

Modification on Si (111) surface resulting from 200 MeV Ag 107+ 14 ion irradiation at an
incidence angle of 15° with respect to the surface normal has been investigated by atomic …

Defects in single-crystalline InP induced by relaxation of electronic excitations from 250 MeV
Xe ions are investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in both conventional …
