Surface nanopatterning induced by ion beam irradiation (IBI) has emerged as an effective
nanostructuring technique since it induces patterns on large areas of a wide variety of …

The formation of periodic patterns on the surfaces of many solid materials undergoing ion-
beam irradiation has long been known. The advent of high resolution characterization …

When a solid surface is bombarded with a broad ion beam at a relatively large angle of
incidence, the surface often develops a terraced form. We introduce a model that includes …

Our simulations show that dispersion can have a crucial effect on the patterns produced by
oblique-incidence ion sputtering. It can lead to the formation of raised and depressed …

We study the nanoscale terraced topographies that arise when a solid surface is bombarded
with a broad ion beam that has a relatively high angle of incidence θ. We find that the …

In this paper, we report the band gap tailoring of naturally available muscovite mica by ultra-
low energy (300 eV) Ar+ ion sputtering at normal ion incidence. The muscovite mica is an …

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 …

The hydrophilic mica surface can be made hydrophobic by low energy Ar+ ion sputtering.
The ion sputtering leads to both topographical and physicochemical changes of the surface …

I report simultaneous growth of the Si nano-structures with wave vectors parallel and
perpendicular to the projection of obliquely bombarding O 2+ ions. At the initial stage of …

The nanoscale patterns produced by bombardment of the (100) surface of silicon with a 2
keV Kr ion beam are investigated both experimentally and theoretically. In our experiments …
