Some results on damage build up in, and amorphization of, Si, induced by 25-30 keV Al$_5^-$, Si$_5^-$ and Cs$^-$ ions, at room temperature, are reported. We show that at low energy, amorphization is a nucleation and growth process, based on…
We have studied the modification in the Surface morphology of the Si(100) surfaces after 1.5 MeV Sb implantation. Scanning Probe Microscopy has been utilized to investigate the ion implanted surfaces. We observe the formation of nano-sized…
Ion implantation has been a key technology for the controlled surface modification of materials in microelectronics and generally, for tribology, biocompatibility, corrosion resistance and many more. To form shallow junctions in Ge is a…
Self-ion implantation amorphization is an established approach to study the structure and properties of amorphous silicon (a-Si). Fluctuation Electron Microscopy (FEM) has consistently observed Medium-Range Order (MRO) in this system that…
Topography evolution of Si(100) surface due to oblique incidence low energy ion beam sputtering (IBS) is investigated. Experiments were carried out at different elevated temperatures from 20$^{\circ}$C to 450$^{\circ}$C and at each…
200 nm thick SiO2 layers grown on Si substrates and Ge ions of 150 keV energy were implanted into SiO2 matrix with Different fluences. The implanted samples were annealed at 950 C for 30 minutes in Ar ambience. Topographical studies of…
Systematic studies of the gradual fabrication by means of carbon ion-implantation of high-quality 6H-SiC layers on silicon surfaces have been carried out. The fluence of carbon ions varied from 5*10^15 cm-2 to 10^17 cm-2. Results of…

We show that the ion beam induced incompressible amorphous solid flow in terms of advection transport mechanism leads to the erosion and deposition of atoms at the amorphous/crystalline (a/c) interface resulting in the formation of pattern…
The morphology evolution of Si (100) surfaces under 1200 eV Ar+ ion bombardment at normal incidence with and without metal incorporation is presented. The formation of nanodot patterns is observed only when the stationary Fe concentration…

Fabrication of a multistrip magnetic/nonmagnetic structure in a thin sandwiched Ni layer [Si(5 nm)/Ni(10 nm)/Si] by a focused ion beam (FIB) irradiation has been attempted. A control experiment was initially performed by irradiation with a…
Spins in the `semiconductor vacuum' of silicon-28 ($^{28}$Si) are suitable qubit candidates due to their long coherence times. An isotopically purified substrate of $^{28}$Si is required to limit the decoherence pathway caused by magnetic…
Eight production quality PbWO4 crystals of CMS have been irradiated in a 20 GeV/c proton beam up to fluences of 5.4E13cm-2. The damage recovery in these crystals has been followed for over a year. Comparative irradiations with 60Co photons…
