This paper discusses the principles and experimental status of gas cluster ion beam (GCIB)
processing as a promising surface modification technique for practical industrial …

The current paper presents a state-of-the-art review in the field of interaction of atomic and
molecular clusters with solids. We do not attempt to overview the entire broad field, but …

The field of nanoscience was pioneered in the 1980s with the groundbreaking research on
clusters, which later led to the discovery of fullerenes. Handbook of Nanophysics: Clusters …

State of the art in the development and application of gas cluster ion sources is considered.
The mechanisms of neutral cluster formation, the techniques applied to study their flows and …

Atomic and molecular clusters can be considered to be a distinct form of matter, a “bridge”
between atoms on the one hand and solids on the other. Interest in clusters comes from …

Gas cluster ions are aggregates of weakly bonded gas atoms or molecules. Upon the impact
of an energetic gas cluster ion, multiple collisions occur between the target atoms and the …

A gas cluster is an aggregate of a few to several thousands of gaseous atoms or molecules,
and it can be accelerated to the desired energy after ionization. Since the kinetic energy of …

Abstract Polycrystalline NiPd and Ni 5 Pd alloys were irradiated with argon gas cluster ion
beam and atomic ion beam. In situ XPS measurements showed surface enrichment with Ni …

A state-of-the-art review in the field of cluster beams and energetic cluster-surface
interaction is presented. Ionised cluster beams are considered to be a controllable and …

This book discusses the physics, materials science, surface engineering issues, and
nanotechnology capabilities of cluster beam processing. Written by the originator of the gas …
