4-18 Nanostructure Formation on Single Crystal Surfaces by Highly Charged Ions and Swift Heavy Ions Impact

摘要

Individual highly charged ions (HCI) in the keV energy regime are able to induce surface modifications on a nanometric scale[1]. Swift heavy ions (SHI) with kinetic energies in the MeV to GeV range can also induce severe structural modifications at the surface and in the bulk[2].
