Engineering Thin Films and Nanostructures With Ion Beams

Informationen zum Autor Émile Knystautas Klappentext Engineering Thin Films and Nanostructures with Ion Beams first focuses on the mechanisms of individual ion impacts upon their substrates. It addresses current challenges in building equipment needed to produce nanostructures in an industrial setting and examines the combination of ion-beam techniques! delineates the fabrication of nanopillars! nanoflowers! and interconnected nanochannels in three dimensions by using atomic shadowing techniques! and describes the production of nanopores of varying dimensions in polymer films alloys and superconductors using ion-beam irradiation. The last chapter shows how fingerprints can be made more reliable as forensic evidence by recoil-mixing them into the substrate using ion beams. Zusammenfassung From the basics of the ion-beam modification of materials onwards, this book offers a retrospective of the technology and illustrates the wider landscape for which ion beam techniques are becoming increasingly applicable. It includes a CD-ROM with video clips from an electron microscope that details crater formation and annealing by ion beams. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction!
