Energy dependence of the ripple wavelength for ion-beam sputtering of silicon: experiments and theory
Castro Ponce, Mario; Gago Fernández, Raúl; Vázquez Burgos, Luís; Muñoz García, J.; Cuerno Rejado, Rodolfo (19/04/2013)In spite of the efforts devoted for the last 20 years to elucidating ion-beam sputtering (IBS) as an instance of surface self-organization, the classic view on the main mechanism inducing the morphological instability has ... -
Independence of interrupted coarsening on initial system order: ion-beam nanopatterning of amorphous versus crystalline silicon targets
Muñoz García, J.; Gago Fernández, Raúl; Cuerno Rejado, Rodolfo; Sánchez García, José Ángel; Redondo Cubero, Andrés; Castro Ponce, Mario; Vázquez Burgos, Luís (23/08/2012)Interrupted coarsening (IC) has recently been identified as an important feature for the dynamics of the typical length-scale in pattern-forming systems on surfaces. In practice, it can be beneficial to improve pattern ... -
Interplay between morphology and surface transport in nanopatterns produced by ion-beam sputtering
Cuerno Rejado, Rodolfo; Muñoz García, J.; Castro Ponce, Mario; Gago Fernández, Raúl; Vázquez Burgos, Luís (01/01/2008)A "hydrodynamic" model has been proposed to describe nanopattern formation and dynamics on amorphous surfaces eroded by ion-beam sputtering (IBS), that relates to descriptions of pattern formation in macroscopic systems ... -
Ion damage overrides structural disorder in silicon surface nanopatterning by low-energy ion beam sputtering
Moreno Barrado, Ana; Gago Fernández, Raúl; Redondo Cubero, Andrés; Vázquez Martínez, Luís; Muñoz García, J.; Cuerno Rejado, Rodolfo; Lorenz, Katharina; Castro Ponce, Mario (26/02/2015)We investigate the role of the initial structural condition in silicon surface nanopatterning by low-energy ion beam sputtering. Specifically, we address the influence of the target atomic structure in ripple formation ... -
Nanoscale pattern formation at surfaces under ion-beam sputtering: a perspective from continuum models
Cuerno Rejado, Rodolfo; Castro Ponce, Mario; Muñoz García, J.; Gago Fernández, Raúl; Vázquez Burgos, Luís (01/05/2011)Although reports on surface nanostructuring of solid targets by low to medium energy ion irradiation date back to the 1960s, only with the advent of high resolution tools for surface/interface characterization has the high ... -
Nonuniversality due to inhomogeneous stress in semiconductor surface nanopatterning by low-energy ion-beam irradiation
Moreno Barrado, Ana; Castro Ponce, Mario; Gago Fernández, Raúl; Vázquez Martínez, Luís; Muñoz García, J.; Redondo Cubero, Andrés; Galiana Blanco, Beatriz; Ballesteros Pérez, Carmen Inés; Cuerno Rejado, Rodolfo (13/04/2015)A lack of universality with respect to ion species has been recently established in nanostructuring of semiconductor surfaces by low-energy ion-beam bombardment. This variability affects basic properties of the pattern ... -
Order enhancement and coarsening of self-organized silicon nanodot patterns induced by ion-beam sputtering
Gago Fernández, Raúl; Vázquez Burgos, Luís; Plantevin, O.; Metzger, T.H.; Muñoz García, J.; Cuerno Rejado, Rodolfo; Castro Ponce, Mario (01/12/2006)The temporal evolution of the characteristic wavelength (lambda) and ordering range (xi) of self-organized nanodot patterns induced during Ar+ ion beam sputtering on Si(001) and Si(111) surfaces is studied by atomic force ... -
