Model of Evolution of Surface Grain Structure under Ion Bombardment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Diffusion and chemical reactions in multicomponent systems play an important role in numerous technology applications. For example, surface treatment of materials and coatings by particle beam leads to chemical composition and grain structure change. To investigate the thermal-diffusion and chemical processes affecting the evolution of surface structure, the mathematical modeling is efficient addition to experiment. In this paper two-dimensional model is discussed to describe the evolution of titanium nitride coating on the iron substrate under implantation of boron and carbon. The equation for diffusion fluxes and reaction rate are obtained using Gibbs energy expansion into series with respect to concentration and their gradients.

Influence of Charging Conditions on Dust Grain’s Field Ion Emission
The research of charging processes of various types of dust grains is important for understanding of the role of dust in dusty plasmas in a space as well as in applications. One of the very important charging process is field ion emission. The field ion emission can limit the positive charge on the dust grain because the positive ions leave a grain surface due to a strong electric field. We ana...
متن کاملSelf-Assembly of Ordered Semiconductor Nanoholes by Ion Beam Sputtering
Low-energy-ion bombardment of semiconductors can lead to the development of complex and diverse nanostructures. Of particular interest in these structured surfaces is the formation of highly ordered patterns whose optical, electronic, andmagnetic properties are different from those of bulk materials and might find technological uses. Compared to the low efficiency of lithographic methods for ma...
متن کاملModel-independent test of the truncated crater function theory of surface morphology evolution during ion bombardment
A broad class of “local response” theories seeks to predict morphology evolution during energetic particle irradiation in terms of average surface height response to individual impacts—an approach that has been generalized by the crater function formalism of Norris et al. [J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 21, 224017 (2009); Nat. Commun. 2, 276 (2011)]. Keeping only the terms in the crater function for...
متن کاملIon beam enhanced grain growth in thin films
A research program has been established to study ion beam enhanced grain growth (IBEGG). Ion beam enhanced grain growth has been studied experimentally in Ge, Au and Si films. IBEGG has been characterized by varying the ion dose, ion energy, ion flux, ion species, temperature, and thin film deposition onrditions. The effect of these parameters on grain size and microstructure has Leen analyzed ...
متن کاملTransition from ripples to faceted structures under low-energy argon ion bombardment of silicon: understanding the role of shadowing and sputtering
In this study, we have investigated temporal evolution of silicon surface topography under 500-eV argon ion bombardment for two angles of incidence, namely 70° and 72.5°. For both angles, parallel-mode ripples are observed at low fluences (up to 2 × 1017 ions cm-2) which undergo a transition to faceted structures at a higher fluence of 5 × 1017 ions cm-2. Facet coarsening takes place at further...
