Using a field emission gun based scanning electron microscopy, we report the formation of nanodots on the InP surfaces after bombardment by 100 keV Ar+ ions under off-normal ion incidence (30° and 60° with respect to the surface normal) condition in the fluence range of 1 × 1016 to 1 × 1018 ions cm−2. Nanodots start forming after a threshold fluence of about 1 × 1017 ions cm−2. It is also seen that although the average dot diameter increases with fluence the average number of dots decreases with increasing fluence. Formation of such nanostructured features is attributed due to ion-beam sputtering. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis of the ion sputtered surface clearly shows In enrichment of the sputtered InP surface. The observation of growth of nanodots on the Ar+-ion sputtered InP surface under the present experimental condition matches well with the recent simulation results based on an atomistic model of sputter erosion. 相似文献

Nanostructures on metal film surfaces have been written directly using a pulsed ultraviolet laser. The optical near-field
effects of the laser were investigated. Spherical silica particles (500–1000 nm in diameter) were placed on metal films. After
laser illumination with a single laser shot, nanoholes were obtained at the original position of the particles. The mechanism
for the formation of the nanostructure patterns was investigated and found to be the near-field optical resonance effect induced
by the particles on the surface. The size of the nanohole was studied as a function of laser fluence and silica particle size.
The experimental results show a good agreement with those of the relevant theoretical calculations of the near-field light
intensity distribution. The method of particle-enhanced laser irradiation allows the study of field enhancement effects as
well as its potentialapplications for nanolithography.

We have investigated the formation and growth of nano sized ripple topography on ZnO thin films by 10 keV O1+ bombardment at impact angles of 80° and 60°, varying the ion fluence from 5 × 1016 to 1 × 1018 ions/cm2. At 80° the ripples are oriented along the ion beam direction whereas at 60° it is perpendicular to the ion beam direction. The developed ion induced structures are characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and the alignment, variation of rms roughness, wavelength and correlation length of the structures are discussed with the existing model and basic concept of ion surface interaction. 相似文献

2 matrix by ion-beam mixing of SiO2/Ag multilayers is studied via Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, optical absorption, and transmission electron microscopy
experiments. In a first step, irradiation with MeV heavy ions transforms the continuous Ag layers into a string of micrometer-sized
Ag inclusions. This mechanism can be attributed to lateral segregation of metallic atoms induced by irradiation. In a second
step, the Ag inclusions are broken up by incoming ions and Ag nanoclusters are formed by agglomeration of mobile Ag atoms.
The latter mechanism is likely due to a combination of ballistic mixing and radiation-induced segregation or radiation-enhanced
diffusion processes. The size of the metallic nanoclusters formed depends also on the irradiation temperature.

The electronic energy loss of swift heavy ions (MeV/amu) within a solid results in a highly excited cylindrical zone of some
nm in diameter, within which all atoms may be in motion for some tens of ps (transient local melting). After cooling down,
a defect-rich or even amorphous latent track is left in many cases, especially in insulating materials. The resulting property
alterations (density, micro-structure, morphology, phase composition, etc.) have been investigated for many bulk materials,
while only very few experiments have been carried out with thin-film systems. In the present paper, a summary will be given
of our studies on the transport of matter in thin-film packages induced by irradiation with high-energy ions. These is, on
the one hand, atomic mixing at the interfaces, which is especially pronounced in ceramic systems and which seems to occur
by interdiffusion in the molten ion track. On the other hand, we have discovered a self-organisation phenomenon in swift-heavy-ion-irradiated
NiO layers, which at low fluences first showed periodic cracking perpendicular to the projected beam direction. After application
of high fluences, the NiO layer was reorganised in 100-nm-thick and 1-μm-high NiO lamellae of the same separation distance
(1–3 μm) and orientation as found for the cracks. Both effects can be attributed to transient melting of the material surrounding
the ion trajectory.

Starting from a theory recently proposed by Kahng et al. that explains the formation of ordered dots by ion sputtering under
normal ion incidence, it was demonstrated that extending this theory to ion sputtering under oblique ion incidence with simultaneous
sample rotation offers the self-organized formation of dots by ion sputtering for a large variety of different ion/material
combinations. While for sputtering under normal incidence the shape of the collision cascade must be anisotropic, where the
lateral straggling exceeds the longitudinal straggling, this constraint is not necessary under oblique incidence.

For direct writing of electrically conducting connections and areas into insulating gold oxide thin films a scanning Ar+ laser beam and a 30 keV Ga+ focused ion beam (FIB) have been used. The gold oxide films are prepared by magnetron sputtering under argon/oxygen plasma.
The patterning of larger areas (dimension 10–100 μm) has been carried out with the laser beam by local heating of the selected
area above the decomposition temperature of AuOx (130–150 °C). For smaller dimensions (100 nm to 10 μm) the FIB irradiation could be used. With both complementary methods
a reduction of the sheet resistance by 6–7 orders of magnitude has been achieved in the irradiated regions (e.g. with FIB
irradiation from 1.5×107 Ω/□ to approximately 6 Ω/□). The energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) show a considerably reduced oxygen content in the
irradiated areas, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), as well as atomic force microscopy (AFM) investigations, indicate
that the FIB patterning in the low-dose region (1014 Ga+/cm2) is combined with a volume reduction, which is caused by oxygen escape rather than by sputtering.

Electrically conducting channels in an insulating carbon matrix were produced by 140-MeV Xe ion irradiation. The high local
energy deposition of the individual ions along their pathes causes a rearrangement of the carbon atoms and leads to a transformation
of the insulating, diamond-like (sp3-bonding) form of carbon into the conducting, graphitic (sp2-bonding) configuration. The conducting ion tracks are clearly seen in the current mapping performed with an atomic force
microscope (AFM). These conducting tracks are of possible use in field emission applications.

Analytical electron microscopy, high-resolution X-ray diffraction and combined Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and
channeling experiments have been used to investigate the radiation damage and the effect of post-implantation annealing on
the microstructure of GaAs(100) single crystals implanted with 1.00 MeV Cu+ ions to a dose of ≈ 3×1016 cm-2 at room temperature. The experiments reveal the formation of a thick and continuous amorphous layer in the as-implanted state.
Annealing up to 600 °C for 60 min does not result in the complete recovery of the lattice order. The residual disorder in
GaAs has been found to be mostly microtwins and stacking fault bundles. The redistribution of implanted atoms during annealing
results in the formation of nano-sized Cu particles in the GaAs matrix. The X-ray diffraction result shows a cube-on-cube
orientation of the Cu particles with the GaAs lattice. The depth distribution and size of the Cu particles have been determined
from the experimental data. A tentative explanation for these results is presented.

We report the observation of a carbon nanostructure grown on a graphite surface by Ar+ ion bombardment. We demonstrate experimentally that, in view of transmission electron microscopy (TEM)-based evidence, some
of these carbon nanostructures emerged the whiskerlike protrusion and/or the sputtered-surface, suggesting a new growth model
for nanocarbon, distinctly different from that found in arc-discharge and many other methods.

The optical properties of crystalline insulating materials can markedly be modified by irradiation with energetic ions. The
exposed areas of such materials absorb and reflect light more strongly than non-irradiated ones. In this way, optical contrast
is created. With modern equipment, ion beams of sufficient intensity can be focused to submicron dimensions. Thus, both analog
and digital information can be recorded with pixel densities of Gbit/cm2 to Tbit/cm2. In particular, crystalline films of group-IV elements of the periodic system, such as Si, SiC and CD (diamond), are best suited for this novel ionographic process. The physical foundations of this technology and the resulting
properties of the recorded data will be discussed.

In this paper, we summarize our recent results of study on how to engineer the embedded metal nanoparticles in silica by ion
implantation and ion irradiation technologies, including controlling the size, distribution and morphology of nanoparticles.
The optical properties of the tailored nanoparticle composites are studied. Thermal annealing, electron beam irradiation,
and chemical erosion are used to study the stability of these embedded nanoparticles by ex situ or in situ transmission electron
microscopy observation. 相似文献

Force-feedback joystick as a low-cost haptic interface for an atomic-force-microscopy nanomanipulator 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In order to manipulate materials at the nanometer scale, new methods and devices have to be developed. A nanomanipulator interface
was designed and implemented in a commercial atomic-force-microscope (AFM) system. With the aid of a positioning joystick,
direct positioning of the AFM probe with nanometer precision was possible. A commercial force-feedback joystick served as
a haptic interface and provided the user with real-time feeling of the tip–sample interactions. Due to the open design, the
manipulator interface could be used with other microscopes of the SPM family. In addition, the nanomanipulator and an UV-laser
microbeam for photoablation were combined on an inverted optical microscope. To test the nanomanipulator, human metaphase
chromosomes were dissected using both photoablation and mechanical AFM manipulation. The experimental results show that by
combining both methods, biological material can be manipulated on different size scales in one integrated instrument. The
effects of manipulation on the chromosome were studied in detail by AFM. Sub-400 nm cuts were achieved by photonic ablation.
Chromosomal fragments of a size less than of 500 nm could be isolated. By means of mechanical microdissection, different cut
sizes ranging from 80 nm to 500 nm could be easily obtained by applying different load forces.

Atomic mixing of Ni2O3/SiO2, NiO/SiO2, and Ni/SiO2 interfaces induced by swift heavy ion irradiation
B. Schattat W. Bolse S. Klaumünzer F. Harbsmeier A. Jasenek 《Applied Physics A: Materials Science & Processing》2003,76(2):165-169
We have investigated the interface mixing of Ni2O3/SiO2, NiO/SiO2, and Ni/SiO2 induced by the irradiation with Ar, Kr and Xe ions of energies ranging from 90 MeV to 260 MeV. Since these energies are in
the electronic stopping regime, atomic transport processes will not be directly initiated by elastic ion–target collisions,
but need to be excited by secondary processes like electron–phonon coupling or Coulomb explosion. Nevertheless, we have observed
a strong mixing effect in the ceramic systems if the electronic energy loss exceeds a certain threshold value. Estimation
of an effective diffusion constant indicates that diffusion takes place in the molten ion track. In contrast to the ceramics,
the metallic Ni layer is still insensitive even for the highest electronic stopping power used (Se=28 keV/nm) and does not exhibit mixing with its SiO2 substrate.
In addition, NiO/SiO2 and Ni/SiO2 were irradiated in the nuclear stopping regime with 600 keV Kr and 900 keV Xe–ions. Here the intermixing effect is in good
agreement with the assumption of ballistic atomic transport.

It has been demonstrated that He+ ion irradiation is an excellent tool for modifying magnetic properties, like the magnetic anisotropy, the interlayer exchange
coupling strength and the exchange bias field of ultra-thin magnetic layered systems. This paper summarizes the effects of
ion irradiation on exchange bias systems. As a first example, for possible applications of the ion induced magnetic effects,
the realization of an angle sensing device is described.

30 keV focused Ga+ ions were used to raster the metallographically polished surface of commercially pure Ti (CP Ti) at various FIB incidence angles over a wide range of doses (1016-1018 ions/cm2) at room temperature. The sputtered surfaces were observed in situ using FIB imaging and later carefully characterized ex situ under scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Ripples were observed on the irradiated surfaces even at the normal FIB incidence angle. The ripple evolution is analyzed as functions of surface diffusion, surface crystallographic orientation, ion dose and incidence angle. It is found that the ripple orientation was progressively influenced by the ion beam direction with incidence angle increasing and in some cases curved ripples or fragmented rods viewed from different angles occurred at high ion doses. The morphological evolution from the well-developed straight ripples to the curved ones is never observed. The formation of ripples is attributed to the competition between the formation of ripples due to anisotropic surface diffusion and the formation of incidence-angle dependent ripples determined by Bradley-Harper (BH) model. 相似文献

CaF2(111) single crystal surfaces have been irradiated with fast heavy ions under oblique angles resulting in chains of nanosized hillocks. In order to characterize these nanodots with respect to their conductivity we have applied non‐contact atomic force microscopy using a magnetic tip. Measurements in ultra high vacuum as well as under ambient conditions reveal a clearly enhanced electromagnetic interaction between the magnetic tip and the nanodots. The dissipated energy per cycle is comparable to the value found for metals, indicating that the interaction of the ion with the target material leads to the creation of metallic Ca nanodots on the surface.
