Morphology change of the silicon surface induced by Ar<sup>+</sup> ion beam sputtering

Two-level modeling for nanoscale pattern formation on silicon target by Ar<sup>+</sup> ion sputtering is presented. Phase diagram illustrating possible nanosize surface patterns is discussed. Scaling characteristics for the structure wavelength dependence versus incoming ion energy are d...
