Coherent grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering is used to investigate the average kinetics and the fluctuation dynamics during self-organized nanopatterning of silicon by Ar$^+$ bombardment at 65$^{\circ}$ polar angle. At early…

Amorphous solids can flow over very long periods of time. Solid flow can also be artificially enhanced by creating defects, as by Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) in which collimated ions with energies in the 0.1 to 10 keV range impact a solid…
