Ion Beam Modification of Surfaces in the Nanoscale Domain
Ion beam sputtering induces morphological as well as compositional changes on the surfaces of ion-sputtered substrates. The surface undergoes kinetic processes, which lead to different morphological details: periodic ripples, substrate-defined etch pits or protuberant structures, roughening and smoothing are some possibilities for surface evolution. The aim of my doctoral dissertation …
