Abstract In recent years Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) has revealed itself as a powerful
technique to induce surface nanopatterns with a large number of potential applications …

The formation of periodic patterns on the surfaces of many solid materials undergoing ion-
beam irradiation has long been known. The advent of high resolution characterization …

We propose and study a continuum model for the dynamics of amorphizable surfaces
undergoing ion-beam sputtering (IBS) at intermediate energies and oblique incidence. After …

The production of self-organized surface nanopatterns by ion beam sputtering (IBS) at low (<
10 keV) and intermediate (10–100 keV) energies has emerged in the last decade as a …

Rare earth praseodymium and cerium oxides have attracted intense research interest in the
last few decades, due to their intriguing chemical and physical characteristics. An …

Although reports on surface nanostructuring of solid targets by low to medium energy ion
irradiation date back to the 1960s, only with the advent of high resolution tools for …

We report an experimental assessment of surface kinetic roughening properties that are
anisotropic in space. Working for two specific instances of silicon surfaces irradiated by ion …

Ar+ ion has been used regularly for the cleaning of semiconductor, metal surfaces for
epitaxial nanostructures growth. We have investigated the effect of low-energy Ar+ ion …

Processes of self-organization described by a nonlinear evolution equation of sixth order are
considered on substrate surfaces after ion beam bombardment. Five families of exact …

Interrupted coarsening (IC) has recently been identified as an important feature for the
dynamics of the typical length-scale in pattern-forming systems on surfaces. In practice, it …
