Problems, Prospects and Applications of Erosional/Depositional Phenomena

  • Chapter
Erosion and Growth of Solids Stimulated by Atom and Ion Beams

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 112))

Abstract

The erosion of surfaces due to the interaction of particles (inert or reactive ions/atoms, electrons) and electromagnetic radiation with materials and the deposition of films on different substrates have become subjects of major interest, and therefore the object of extensive studies, as a consequence of the relevance of erosion and deposition processes in different technologies. Recent reviews(1–4) have shown that the processes mentioned above can produce texturing of surfaces due to ion bombardment or vapor deposition. It has been demonstrated in those reviews that textured surfaces already are used in some technologies, have the potential to be useful in others, and are relevant either on detrimental or beneficial bases in different experimental techniques.
