A common misconception is that the irradiation of solids with energetic electrons and ions
has exclusively detrimental effects on the properties of target materials. In addition to the …

In situ observation is of great value in the study of radiation damage utilizing electron or ion
irradiation. We summarize the facilities and give examples of work found around the world …

In recent times, efforts were made by researchers worldwide, to enhance the performance of
energy storage devices such as innovative modification and synthesis of different low …

Sputtering yields, enhanced by more than an order of magnitude, have been observed for
80 keV Xe ion irradiation of monocrystalline Au nanorods. Yields are in the range 100–1900 …

Experimental results on the charge‐state‐dependent sputtering of metallic gold nanoislands
are presented. Irradiations with slow highly charged ions of metallic targets were previously …

Dewetting and nanopattern formation of 3–10 nm Pt thin films upon ion irradiation is studied
using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Lateral feature size and the fraction of exposed …

Using classical molecular-dynamics simulations we examine the formation of craters during
0.4–100-keV Xe bombardment of Au. Our simulation results, and comparison with …

We have systematically tested two entirely independent, empirical potentials (EAM and
MD/MC CEM) which are widely used in classical molecular dynamics simulations by …

Nanostructures with a high density of interfaces, such as in nanoporous materials and
nanowires, resist radiation damage by promoting the annihilation and migration of defects …

Nanometer-sized structures produced by individual highly charged ion (HCI) impacts are
now reported on a high-conductivity surface, and examined by scanning tunneling …
