Strong anisotropy in surface kinetic roughening: analysis and experiments
Edoardo Vivo, Matteo Nicoli, Martin Engler +3
We report an experimental assessment of surface kinetic roughening properties that are anisotropic in space. Working for two specific instances of silicon surfaces irradiated by io…
Hydrodynamic approach to surface pattern formation by ion beams
Mario Castro, Rodolfo Cuerno
On the proper timescale, amorphous solids can flow. Solid flow can be observed macroscopically in glaciers or lead pipes, but it can also be artificially enhanced by creating defec…
Coupling of morphology to surface transport in ion-beam irradiated surfaces. I. Oblique incidence
Javier Muñoz-García, Rodolfo Cuerno, Mario Castro
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 consider…
Self-organized surface nanopatterning by ion beam sputtering
Javier Muñoz-García, Luis Vázquez, Rodolfo Cuerno +3
The production of nanopatterns on the surfaces of targets irradiated by ion beams at low and intermediate energies has developed during the present decade to a salient degree of co…
Influence of Collision Cascade Statistics on Pattern Formation of Ion-Sputtered Surfaces
M. Feix, A. K. Hartmann, R. Kree +2
Theoretical continuum models that describe the formation of patterns on surfaces of targets undergoing ion-beam sputtering, are based on Sigmund's formula, which describes the spat…
Production of ordered silicon nanocrystals by low-energy ion sputtering
Raul Gago, Luis Vazquez, Rodolfo Cuerno +3
We report on the production of ordered assemblies of silicon nanostructures by means of irradiation of a Si(100) substrate with 1.2 keV Ar ions at normal incidence. Atomic Force an…
