The past few decades have witnessed growing research interest in develo** powerful
nanofabrication technologies for three-dimensional (3D) structures and devices to achieve …

There is an increasing demand for thin films with tailored properties, which requires the use
and control of adequate deposition techniques. Ion beam sputter deposition (IBSD) is a …

The roughness of a surface is known to have a strong influence on the sputtering process.
Commonly used 1D Monte Carlo codes for calculating sputter yields show good agreement …

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 …

The formation of self-organized laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) in metals,
semiconductors, and dielectrics upon pulsed laser irradiation is a well-known phenomenon …

Introduction: This study focuses on the detection of rhodamine-6G using surface-enhanced
Raman scattering (SERS) on gold nanostructures (AuNS) of different sizes. Ion beam …

This study tackles limitations of Silk Fibroin (SF), including availability of sites for
modification. This is achieved by Direct Plasma Nanosynthesis (DPNS), an Ar+ …

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 …

In ITER, the metallic first mirrors (FMs) will undergo erosion due to their proximity to the
fusion plasma and deposition of materials originated from the first walls (mainly beryllium). In …

Surface-associated bacterial communities, known as biofilms, are responsible for a broad
spectrum of infections in humans. Recent studies have indicated that surfaces containing …
