LOW-ENERGY-ION ENHANCED DIFFUSION AT THE SURFACE OF METALS
Authors: not saved
Abstract:
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 special method. An overcoat layer has been evaporated on the surface of the thin film sample following the implantation and the defects have been produced in the overcoat layer by another ion. The original implanted ions are observed to diffuse to the new surface through the open channels created by the auxiliary ions. The effect of this diffusion on the range distributions of low-energy ions in copper has also been discussed

full textSurface diffusion: the low activation energy path for nanotube growth.
We present the temperature dependence of the growth rate of carbon nanofibers by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition with Ni, Co, and Fe catalysts. We extrapolate a common low activation energy of 0.23-0.4 eV, much lower than for thermal deposition. The carbon diffusion on the catalyst surface and the stability of the precursor molecules, C2H2 or CH4, are investigated by ab initio plane w...
full textSurface Morphology Evolution of GaAs by Low Energy Ion Sputtering
Low energy Ar ion sputtering, typically below 1,200 eV, of GaAs at normal beam incident angle is investigated. Surface morphology development with respect to varying energy is analyzed and discussed. Dot-like patterns in the nanometer scale are obtained above 600 eV. As the energy approaches upper eV range regular dots have evolved. The energy dependent dot evolution is evaluated based on solut...

We report on the design, construction, and performance of a high current monolayers/ s , mass-filtered ion beamline system for surface scattering studies using inert and reactive species at collision energies below 1500 eV. The system combines a high-density inductively coupled plasma ion source, high-voltage floating beam transport line with magnet mass-filter and neutral stripping, decelerato...
full textEnhanced diffusion due to active swimmers at a solid surface.
We consider two systems of active swimmers moving close to a solid surface, one being a living population of wild-type E. coli and the other being an assembly of self-propelled Au-Pt rods. In both situations, we have identified two different types of motion at the surface and evaluated the fraction of the population that displayed ballistic trajectories (active swimmers) with respect to those s...

The transition metal ions, Cr , Mo , W and Re, abstract one or more fluorine atoms or CmFn groups (m = 1,2; n = 1–5) in collisions with fluorocarbon self-assembled monolayers (F-SAMs). The number of atoms abstracted increases with collision energy, and with W and Re it is possible to maximize a specific scattered product ion by selecting the appropriate collision energy. The collision ene...
