Ion-beam irradiation of an amorphizable material such as Si or Ge may lead to spontaneous pattern formation, rather than flat surfaces, for irradiation beyond some critical angle against the surface normal. It is observed experimentally…

We have reported the dependence of projectile mass, chemical reactivity and effect of molecular beams on the ion induced nano structure formation, when 8 keV He1+, N1+, O1+, Ar1+ atomic ions and 16 keV N21+ and O21+ molecular ions are…

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…

It is known that ion-irradiation can lead surfaces to spontaneously develop patterns with characteristic length scales on the order of only a few nanometers. Pattern formation typically occurs only for irradiation angles beyond a critical…

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 control over the main pattern features. However, there is…

Si nanopillars of less than 50 nm diameter have been irradiated in a helium ion microscope with a focused Ne$^+$ beam. The morphological changes due to ion beam irradiation at room temperature and elevated temperatures have been studied…

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to study the formation process of nanopores in a suspended graphene sheet irradiated by using energetic ions though a mask. By controlling the ion parameters including mass, energy and…

The shape of metal nanoparticles embedded in dielectric matrices influences the optical properties of the composite material. Swift heavy ion irradiation can induce a controllable shape transformation in gold and other metals embedded in…

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 defects. Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) is a technique in which ions…

In addition to electronic polarization or charge redistribution, the shape of neutral conjugated molecules yields position-dependent ionization potentials and electron affinities in organic thin films. Self-consistent I(n) and A(n) are…

We have recorded channeling patterns produced by 1 to 2 MeV protons aligned with <111> axes in 55 nm thick silicon crystals which exhibit characteristic angular structure for deflection angles up to and beyond the axial critical angle,…

We have reported nanopattern formation on carbon thin film and Si(100) surfaces by low energy inert and carbon ion beams. It is interesting to observe the role of carbon as target as well as projectile for nano patterning. Using carbon thin…

Energetic particle irradiation of solids can cause surface ultra-smoothening, self-organized nanoscale pattern formation, or degradation of the structural integrity of nuclear reactor components. Periodic patterns including high-aspect…

We have investigated the formation and growth of nano sized ripple topography on ZnO thin films by 10 keV O1+ bombardment at impact angles of 80{\degree} and 60{\degree}, varying the ion fluence from 5{times}10^16 to 1{\times}10^18…

We have reported the dependence of projectile mass along with the chemical reactivity and nonlinear effects on ion beam induced nano structure formation when 8 keV He1+, N1+, O1+, Ar1+ atomic ions and 16 keV N21+ and O21+ molecular ions are…

We report experiments on surface nanopatterning of Si targets which are irradiated with 2 keV Ar + ions impinging at near-glancing incidence, under concurrent co-deposition of Au impurities simultaneously extracted from a gold target by the…

We report the decisive role of reactive ion impurities in low energy Ar+ ion beam on surface nanopattern formation. The source of experimental inconsistency in pattern formation by low energy (few keV to 10's of KeV) Ar+ ion beam has been…

Since an ion-beam is a viable attractive alternative to other material surface patterning techniques like an electron-beam, a study of the structure, composition and dimension of patterned lines created on surfaces of Si and SrTiO3 wafers…

Ion track formation, amorphisation, and the formation of porosity in crystalline GaSb induced by 185 MeV $^{197}$Au swift heavy ion irradiation is investigated as a function of fluence and irradiation angle relative to the surface normal.…

The off-normal ion irradiation of semiconductor materials is seen to induce nanopatterning effects. Different theories are proposed to explain the mechanisms that drive self-reorganization of amorphisable surfaces. One of the prominent…
