This paper presents simple models useful in analyzing the growth of nanostructures
obtained by cluster deposition. After a brief survey of applications and experimental …

Magnetron plasma processes involving metal atoms and clusters are reviewed. The
formation of metal atoms near the cathode and their nucleation in a buffer gas flow are …

The use of fractal concepts in understanding various growth phenomena, such as molecular
beam epitaxy (MBE) or fluid flow in porous media, is increasingly important these days. This …

This book supplies a systematic description of the preparation, characterization, and
manipulation of cluster beams for the synthesis of nanocrystalline materials. It addresses all …

The low-energy cluster beam deposition technique (LECBD) is applied to produce cluster
assembled films with hitherto unknown nanostructured morphologies and properties …

Self-assembly of proteins on surfaces is utilized in many fields to integrate intricate
biological structures and diverse functions with engineered materials. Controlling proteins at …

The final results of the EDELWEISS-I dark matter search using cryogenic heat-and-
ionization Ge detectors are presented. The final data sample corresponds to an increase by …

Networks based on nanoscale resistive switching junctions are considered promising for the
fabrication of neuromorphic computing architectures. To date random networks of …

We report the formation of large, branched silver aggregates after deposition of Ag on
silicone oil surfaces. The origin of these ramified aggregates is traced to a two stage …

We present a study of the first stages of growth of thin films produced by low-energy cluster
beam deposition (LECBD) on graphite. Our experiments are analyzed in the framework of …
