Journal ArticleDOI
Reactive cluster epitaxy: CoSi2 nanoparticles on (111) Si
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of epitaxial CoSi2 islands of nanoscopic dimensions was reported using the technique of reactive cluster deposition, where Co clusters in the size range 5-50nm were synthesized by sputtering a high purity Co target inside a UHV sputtering chamber.
Journal ArticleDOI
The determination of electronic stopping powers of light ions in metals from damage‐rate measurements
TL;DR: In this article, the radiation damage-induced resistivity change in thin films is measured as a function of ion energy, and the effect is analyzed by comparison with predictions based on an Edgeworth expansion of the damage distribution function, using the moments tabulated by Winterbon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of atomic bonding on defect production in collision cascades
TL;DR: In this article, the mechanisms of damage production during ion irradiation using molecular dynamics simulations of 400 eV -10 keV collision cascades in four different materials were studied, and the results showed that the crystal structure clearly has the strongest effect on the nature of the damage produced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of Granular Systems by Cluster Beam Deposition
TL;DR: This method makes it possible to control the granule size and concentration, which is not possible using precipitation synthesis of granular alloys, and a diverse set of granule/matrix systems are accessible by this system.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the smoothing behavior on annealing based on the difference in surface energies between cluster and substrate and their heat of mixing and found that the cluster substrate combination Co/Cu(100) was chosen as a model system in which the cluster has a significantly higher surface energy than the substrate.
