A brief review is given regarding the application of cluster ion beams as desorption probes
in molecular SIMS. The general observation is that the efficiency of secondary ion formation …

We report on the photoluminescence properties of ZnO nanowires treated with a mild Ar
plasma. The nanowires exhibited stable and strong enhancement of the near-band-edge …

Cluster ion bombardment is at the forefront of current ToF-SIMS research, particularly when
examining the feasibility of molecular depth profiling and three-dimensional imaging …

The early stages of C60 bombardment of octane and octatetraene crystals are modeled
using molecular dynamics simulations with incident energies of 5− 20 keV. Using the …

This paper discusses the surface effects and nonlinear optical properties of ZnO nanowires.
First, the influence of the large surface‐to‐volume ratio of the nanowires on their …

The nature of the regions that are favorable for chemical reactions has been investigated for
a pure amorphous water ice substrate following energetic bombardment by C60 and Au3 …

In this work, the optical, morphological, and structural improvements of vertically aligned,
hydrothermally grown ZnO submicrowires (SMWs) treated with a 250 W, 250 V RF argon …

This chapter discusses the case of organic and related materials, with a few examples taken
from other types of systems when deemed necessary. It focuses on problems of cluster …

Energetic cluster beam bombardment of organic samples involves a number of physical and
chemical effects that are interconnected in a complex manner. In this labyrinth for the …

Using molecular-dynamics simulation, we study the cluster-induced sputtering of a diatomic
(O2) and a triatomic (H2O) molecular target and compare it to the sputtering of an atomic …
