B2 phase copper-zirconium (CuZr) particles are often used as an enhancement agent to
improve the toughness of metallic glass; however, the orientation dependence of its phase …

Experimental results on the charge‐state‐dependent sputtering of metallic gold nanoislands
are presented. Irradiations with slow highly charged ions of metallic targets were previously …

Context. The impact of cosmic rays on ice grains delivers considerable energy, inducing
chemical reactions and molecule ejection. Aims. We study the effects of cosmic ray impact …

An unsolved problem in research of sputtering from metals induced by energetic large
cluster ions is that molecular dynamics (MD) simulations often produce sputtering yields …

Ion beam processing of surfaces is well known to lead to sputtering, which conventionally is
associated only with erosion of atoms from the material. We show here, by combination of …

A mass spectrometric study of secondary ions emitted from droplet surfaces by MeV-energy
heavy ion impact was performed to investigate fast-ion-induced molecular reaction …

For ZnO nanowires of 150 to 200 nm diameter standing on a flat substrate, the development
of the surface contour/morphology and the local elemental composition under 175 keV Mn …

Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and scanning electron microscopy were applied to
obtain sputtering yields of Ag nanoparticles (5–30 nm in diameter) under 3–100 keV Ar+ ion …

Electrochemical etching of Si is a promising method of fabricating multilayer photonic
structures with hundreds of layers. Nevertheless, the natural cleavage of the porous silicon …

Tungsten is regarded as a potential plasma facing material (PFM) in nuclear fusion reactors
owing to its high melting point, good thermal conductivity, and low sputtering yield. However …
