Defects in Crystals Created by Ion Bombardment : Theory and Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The damage processes involved in the penetration of an energetic ion in a crystalline solid are reviewed qualitatively. Different methods of studying the mechanisms of damage and defects created are described and the role of computer simulation in the comparison of theory and experiment is discussed.

Surface Defects and Bulk Defect Migration Produced by Ion Bombardment of Si(001)
Variable-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy is used to characterize surface defects created by 4.5 keV He ion bombardment of Si(001) at 80–294 K; surface defects are created directly by ion bombardment and by diffusion of bulk defects to the surface. The heights and areal densities of adatoms, dimers, and adatom clusters at 80 and 130 K are approximately independent of temperature and in...
متن کاملStatistical characterization of surface defects created by Ar ion bombardment of crystalline silicon
Ion bombardment of crystalline silicon targets induces pattern formation by the creation of mobile surface species that participate in forming nanometer-scale structures. The formation of these mobile species on a Si 001 surface, caused by sub-keV argon ion bombardment, is investigated through molecular dynamics simulation of Stillinger-Weber Phys. Rev. B 31, 5262 1985 silicon. Specific criteri...
متن کاملEnhanced End-Contacts by Helium Ion Bombardment to Improve Graphene-Metal Contacts
Low contact resistance between graphene and metals is of paramount importance to fabricate high performance graphene-based devices. In this paper, the impact of both defects induced by helium ion (He⁺) bombardment and annealing on the contact resistance between graphene and various metals (Ag, Pd, and Pt) were systematically explored. It is found that the contact resistances between all metals ...
متن کاملLOW-ENERGY-ION ENHANCED DIFFUSION AT THE SURFACE OF METALS
Radiation enhanced diffusion at the surface of metals has been observed and studied for low-energy nitrogen ions at the surface of copper. The displacement of the target atoms during irradiation creates vacancies and other defects near the surface, thus enhancing the diffusion of implanted materials toward the surface and also into the solid. The mechanism has been studied here by a specia...
متن کاملSolutions of diffusion equation for point defects
An analytical solution of the equation describing diffusion of intrinsic point defects in semiconductor crystals has been obtained for a one-dimensional finite-length domain with the Robin-type boundary conditions. The distributions of point defects for different migration lengths of defects have been calculated. The exact analytical solution was used to verify the approximate numerical solutio...
