Enhanced sputtering yields from single-ion impacts on gold nanorods.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sputtering yields, enhanced by more than an order of magnitude, have been observed for 80 keV Xe ion irradiation of monocrystalline Au nanorods. Yields are in the range 100-1900 atoms/ion compared with values for a flat surface of ≈50. This enhancement results in part from the proximity of collision cascades and ensuing thermal spikes to the nanorod surfaces. Molecular dynamic modeling reveals that the range of incident angles occurring for irradiation of nanorods and the larger number of atoms in "explosively ejected" atomic clusters make a significant contribution to the enhanced yield.

In situ controlled sputtering deposition of gold nanoparticles on MnO2 nanorods as surface-enhanced Raman scattering substrates for molecular detection.
Single-crystal tetragonal α-MnO2 nanorods with different amounts of gold nanoparticles (NPs) attached were successfully prepared by a facile sputtering deposition technique. Initially, the morphology and crystal structure of the bare α-MnO2 nanorods synthesized via a hydrothermal approach were investigated. Then, the amount of gold NPs at different sputtering times was analyzed. It was confirme...

متن کاملEffect of Thickness on Structural and Morphological Properties of AlN Films Prepared Using Single Ion Beam Sputtering
Aluminum nitride (AlN) thin films have potential applications in microelectronic and optoelectronic devices. In this study, AlN thin films with different thicknesses were deposited on silicon substrate by single ion beam sputtering method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra revealed that the structure of films with thickness of - nm was amorphous, while the polycrystalline hexagonal AlN with a...
متن کاملEffect of surface morphology on the sputtering yields. II. Ion sputtering from rippled surfaces
Off-normal ion bombardment of solid targets with energetic particles often leads to development of periodically modulated structures on the surfaces of eroded materials. Ion-induced surface roughening, in its turn, causes sputtering yield changes. We report on a comprehensive theoretical study of the effect of rippled surface morphology on the sputtering yields. The yield is computed as a funct...
متن کاملThe influence of the ion–atom potential on molecular dynamics simulations of sputtering
The influence of the ion–atom potential on sputtering parameters calculated with molecular dynamics simulations was last investigated in detail by Harrison in 1980 [J. Appl. Phys. 52 (1981) 1499]. Harrison concluded that except for total yields, layer yields, yields from different crystal orientations and atom per single ion (ASI) distributions, most sputtering properties were relatively insens...
