Interpretation of localized surface nano-structures

Sara A Morsi, Waleed M Moslem, Salah K El-Labany

Abstract


Recent experiment was done to create surface nano-structures by extrusion of slow highly charged ions with LiNbO_3 single crystal. In this paper, we suggest a mechanism based on plasma expansion approach to explain the formation of the surface nano-structures. Furthermore, the effects of the physical parameters of the non-Maxwellian plasma on the created structures are examined.

Keywords


Plasma expansion; surface nanostructures; self-similar
