Surface nanopatterning induced by ion beam irradiation (IBI) has emerged as an effective
nanostructuring technique since it induces patterns on large areas of a wide variety of …

Fractal characterization of surface morphology can be useful as a tool for tailoring the
wetting properties of solid surfaces. In this work, rippled surfaces of Si (100) are grown using …

Ion beam irradiation of solid surfaces may result in the self-organized formation of well-
defined topographic nanopatterns. Depending on the irradiation conditions and the material …

We demonstrate a production method for self-organized arrays of metal nanoparticles and
aligned nanowires. Ion beam-sputtered Si∕ Si O 2 substrates are used as templates for …

Abstract Si (1 0 0) is bombarded with 200 keV Ar+ ion beam at oblique incidence with
fluences ranging from 3× 10 17 ions/cm 2 to 3× 10 18 ions/cm 2. The surface morphology of …

The morphology of different amorphous or amorphized SiO 2 surfaces, including thermally
grown films, fused silica, and single crystalline quartz, during low energy ion sputtering has …
