Nanoporous Structure Formation on the Surface of InSb by Ion Beam Irradiation
Nanoporous structures have a great potential for application in electronic and photonic materials, including field effect transistors, photonic crystals, and quantum dots. The control of size and shape is important for such applications. In this study, nanoporous structure formation on the indium antimonide (InSb) surface was investigated using controlled focused ion beam irradiation. Upon incr...
متن کاملIndium-induced changes in GaN„0001... surface morphology
First-principles calculations of the energetics of the In-terminated GaN~0001!, (0001I ), (101I 1), and (1011) surfaces indicate that In has a substantial effect on the relative energies of formation of these surfaces. Indium-induced changes in the surface energetics enable the formation of inverted hexagonal pyramid defects having (101I 1) facets at the termination of threading defects on the ...
متن کاملIon Irradiation Induced Effects in Metal Nanostructures
High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) are used to study the ion induced effects in Au, Ag nanostructures grown on Si and thermally grown SiO2 substrates. Au and Ag films (∼ 2 nm) are prepared by thermal evaporation under high vacuum condition at room temperature (RT). These films were irradiated with MeV Au ions also at RT. Ver...
متن کاملX-Ray Scattering Study of the Surface Morphology of Au(111) during Ar1 Ion Irradiation
Using real-time x-ray scattering to measure the surface morphology of Au(111) during sputter erosion with 500 eV Ar ions, we observe three distinct regimes: three-dimensional rough erosion at 20–60 ±C, quasi-layer-by-layer removal at 120–220 ±C, and step retraction above 270 ±C. Sputtering at 20–60 ±C leads to pattern formation with a characteristic spacing between features. The average separat...
متن کاملChanges in metal nanoparticle shape and size induced by swift heavy-ion irradiation
Changes in the shape and size of Co, Pt and Au nanoparticles induced by swift heavy-ion irradiation (SHII) have been characterized using a combination of transmission electron microscopy, small-angle x-ray scattering and x-ray absorption near-edge structure. Elemental nanoparticles of diameters 2-15 nm were first formed in amorphous SiO 2 by ion implantation and thermal annealing and then irrad...
