Carbon nanomembranes (CNMs) are synthetic 2D carbon sheets with tailored physical or
chemical properties. These depend on the structure, molecular composition, and …

The guiding of charged particles through microscopic and, more recently, also macroscopic
capillaries is a remarkable effect discovered in 2002 by Stolterfoht and coworkers. After an …

Experimental charge exchange and energy loss data for the transmission of slow highly
charged Xe ions through ultrathin polymeric carbon membranes are presented. Surprisingly …

We describe the use of slow highly charged ions as a simple tool for the fabrication of
nanopores with well-defined diameters typically between 10 and 20 nm in freestanding, 1 …

Surface damage appears on materials irradiated by highly charged ions (HCI). Since a
direct link has been found between surface damage created by HCI with the one created by …

We investigated the response of wurzite GaN thin films to energetic ion irradiation. Both swift
heavy ions (92 MeV Xe 23+, 23 MeV I 6+) and highly charged ions (100 keV Xe 40+) were …

Slow highly charged ions have been utilized recently for the creation of monotype surface
nanostructures (craters, calderas, or hillocks) in different materials. In the present study, we …

Nanostructure formation by single slow highly charged ion impacts can be associated with
high density of electronic excitations at the impact points of the ions. Experimental results …

Graphene is expected to be rather insensitive to ion irradiation. We demonstrate that single
layers of exfoliated graphene sustain significant damage from irradiation with slow highly …

Sapphire single crystals were irradiated with slow highly charged xenon ions from electron
beam ion trap (EBIT) facility. Scanning electron microscopic measurements showed the …
