We derive a stochastic nonlinear continuum theory to describe the morphological evolution of amorphous surfaces eroded by ion bombardment. Starting from Sigmund's theory of sputter erosion, we calculate the coefficients appearing in the…

The classical theory of ion beam sputtering predicts the instability of a flat surface to uniform ion irradiation at any incidence angle. We relax the assumption of the classical theory that the average surface erosion rate is determined by…

Numerical simulation of pattern formation on plane target surfaces undergoing ion-beam sputtering is carried out. Base of the mathematical model of target ion-sputtering is nonlinear evolutionary equation in which the erosion velocity…

In the crater function approach to the erosion of a solid surface by a broad ion beam, the average crater produced by the impact of an ion is used to compute the constant coefficients in the continuum equation of motion for the surface. We…

The properties of sputtered and scattered ions are studied for ion beam sputtering of Si by bombardment with noble gas ions. The energy distributions in dependence on ion beam parameters (ion energy: 0.5 - 1 keV; ion species: Ne, Ar, Xe)…

In the continuum theory the time evolution of surfaces eroded by ion bombardment is modelled by stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs). These determine the scaling regimes and universality classes of the evolving surfaces.…

Several, recently proposed methods of surface manufacturing based on ion beam sputtering, which involve dual beam setups, sequential application of ion beams from different directions, or sample rotation, are studied with the method of…

Ion bombardment is known to enhance surface diffusion and affect the surface morphology. To quantify this phenomenon we calculate the ion-induced diffusion constant and its dependence on the ion energy, flux and angle of incidence. We find…

A simple (2+1) dimensional discrete model is introduced to study the evolution of solid surface morphologies during ion-beam sputtering. The model is based on the same assumptions about the erosion process as the existing analytic theories.…

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…

Recent experimental studies focusing on the morphological properties of surfaces eroded by ion-bombardment report the observation of self-affine fractal surfaces, while others provide evidence about the development of a periodic ripple…

We derive a stochastic nonlinear equation to describe the evolution and scaling properties of surfaces eroded by ion bombardment. The coefficients appearing in the equation can be calculated explicitly in terms of the physical parameters…

A second order classical perturbation theory is developed and applied to elastic atom corrugated surface scattering. The resulting theory accounts for experimentally observed asymmetry in the final angular distributions. These include…

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 considering the current limitations of more standard descriptions in…

The isotope effect in the scattering of methane is studied by wavepacket simulations of oriented CH4 and CD4 molecules from a flat surface including all nine internal vibrations. At a translational energy up to 96 kJ/mol we find that the…

We modify the theory of nanoscale patterns produced by ion bombardment with concurrent impurity deposition to take into account the effect that the near-surface impurities have on the collision cascades. As the impurity concentration is…

We propose a general impulsive model for scattering of molecules from a flat solid surface. It is assumed within the framework of this model that an encounter of an atom (or ion) with the surface is a series of elastic (in the direction…

Surfaces eroded by ion-sputtering are sometimes observed to develop morphologies which are either ripple (periodic), or rough (non-periodic). We introduce a discrete stochastic model that allows us to interpret these experimental…

A model of the collisional kinetics of energetic hydrogen atoms, molecules, and ions in pure H$_2$ discharges is used to predict H$_\alpha$ emission profiles and spatial distributions of emission from the cathode regions of low-pressure,…

Ion sputtering from loose powders remains poorly understood despite its relevance to planetary science and industry. We developed a multiscale Monte Carlo model to simulate sputtering from powders, using a higher-fidelity approach for the…
