The ion-irradiation induced synthesis of embedded Au nanoparticles (NPs) into glass from islands of Au on a glass substrate is studied in the context of recoiling atoms, sputtering and viscous flow. Cross sectional transmission electron microscopy studies revealed the formation of Au NPs embedded in the glass substrates by the 50 keV Si(-) ion irradiation of irregularly shaped Au nanostructures...

On the atomic scale, Molecular Dynamic (MD) Simulation of Nano Al cluster impact on Al (100) substrate surface has been carried out for energies of 1-20 eV/atom to understand quantitatively the interaction mechanisms between the cluster atoms and the substrate atoms. The many body Embedded Atom Method (EAM) was used in this simulation. We investigated the maximum substrate temperature Tmax  and...

To clarify the yielding mechanism of small hydrocarbon molecules in chemical sputtering between hydrogen and graphene sheets, we made classical molecular dynamics simulation with modified Brenner’s REBO potential which we proposed to deal with chemical reaction. As the simulation model, we prepared more realistic physical system, which is composed of 160 incident hydrogen atoms and ten graphene...

Resonance Ionization Spectroscopy (RIS) technique is an ultrasensitive method of detection of atoms and molecules. Application of RIS to material analysis requires an atomization step which is based in our set-up on ion beam sputtering. We present a review of the analytical studies we have performed demonstrating the very attractive potentialities of this method. RIS can be also used to study t...

In this paper, a thermally stable nickel silicide technology using the co-sputtering of nickel and titanium atoms capped with TiN layer is proposed for nano-scale metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) applications. The effects of the incorporation of titanium ingredient in the co-sputtered Ni layer are characterized as a function of Ti sputtering power. The difference betwe...

Previous studies have shown that the size distributions of small clusters ( n < or = 40; n = number of atoms/cluster) generated by sputtering obey an inverse power law with an exponent between -8 and -4. Here we report electron microscopy studies of the size distributions of larger clusters ( n > or = 500) sputtered by high-energy ion impacts. These new measurements also yield an inverse power ...

We combine laboratory and Apollo year on the moon) every surface species has been observations to describe the sputtering of the struck and subsequent ions eject chemicallylunar surface and the composition of the ejecta altered species. At high fluences sputtering with special reference to O. The atmospheric proceeds stoichiometrically (Johnson 1990). inventory appears to be dominated by microT...
