The well-controlled nitrogen doped graphite with graphitic nitrogen located in the zigzag edge and/or vacancy sites can be realized using the low energy nitrogen sputtering. The doping mechanism of nitrogen ions is also discussed.

With tips of different hardness, we analyzed the effect of the hardness and shape of the actual AFM tip on the measurement of the best GaSb quantum dot (QD) structures induced by low energy Ar + sputtering. The comparison indicated that the complete information on the detailed dot shape and order structure can be determined with the hard and good tip, while with the soft or worn tip some information on the dot height and shape cannot be obtained. Our results suggest that, in order to obtain the complete surface information, the high hardness and good AFM tip should be used for semiconductor QD structures.

Studies of Cu/Ru(OOOI) and Cu/O/Ru(OOOl) surfaces were made by applying low energy Li+ and He+ ion scattering with a combination of Auger electron spectroscopy, low energy electron diffraction and computer simulation. It was found that Cu grew on Ru(0001) layer-by-Iayer for the first two layers. Using Li+ ions, the results obtained by analysing the incident angle dependence associated with shadowing of Ru by Cu confirmed that the first layer Cu was in a normal registry position, i.e, there was a continuation of the hexagonal close-packed stacking sequence. The second layer Cu was determined to be in registry along the long azimuth (one of three possible domains) by analysing the shadowing features for the second layer Cu focusing onto the first layer Cu atoms. The Cu/O/Ru(0001) surface was also studied by He+ ion scattering. During deposition of Cu, the great majority of oxygen (about 70%) originally on the clean Ru(OOOl) surface was found to float out onto the top of the growing Cu overlayers. This displacement process could be observed up to Cu coverages of 10 ML, which appeared to be independent of the deposition rate, the 0 precoverage and the substrate temperature. The floating 0 atoms in the top layer have been determined to be a disordered overlayer by measuring the azimuthal scan dependence at grazing incidence.

AbstractThe ion sputtering and implantation into GaAs(001) surface at 1-5 keV Se+ grazing ion bombardment have been investigated by computer simulation.The azimuth angular dependencies of sputtering and penetration yield at grazing incidence have been calculated. It was observed that these dependencies correlate the crystal orientation. The depth distributions of 1-5 keV Se ions implanted into GaAs(001) for several azimuth angles of incidence have been presented.

We report formation of self organized InP nano dots using 3 keV Ar+ ion sputtering, at 15° incidence from surface normal, on InP(111) surface. Morphology and optical properties of the sputtered surface, as a function of sputtering time, have been investigated by Scanning Probe Microscopy and Raman Scattering techniques. Uniform patterns of nano dots are observed for different durations of sputtering. The sizes and the heights of these nano dots vary between 10 to 100 nm and 20 to 40 nm, respectively. With increasing of sputtering time, t, the size and height of these nano dots increases up to a certain sputtering time tc. However beyond tc, the dots break down into smaller nanostructures, and as a result, the size and height of these nanostructures decrease. The uniformity and regularity of these structures are also lost for sputtering beyond tc. The crossover behavior is also observed in the rms surface roughness. Raman investigations of InP nano dots reveal optical phonon softening due to phonon confinement in the surface nano dots.
