Ion irradiation-induced foams in antimonide binary alloys: A combination of small energy bandgap with giant surface-to-bulk ratio

This is a short review about the ion irradiation-induced foams in antimonide films. III–V semiconductors like InSb and GaSb can be transformed into solid foams with nanometric dimensions upon irradiation with swift heavy ions, increasing significantly the effective surface area of the material. The...
