ABSTRACTDynamic ion beam mixing (simultaneous deposition and ion beam irradiation) was simulated for the first time. Standard Monte Carlo (MC) programs do not account for the steady change of target geometry caused by the layer growth during the process. Therefore a time-step strategy was realized by integrating a MC simulator in a system together with a geometry update module. A comparison between simulation results and XPS and TEM measurements shows reasonable agreement between simulation and measurements.

The grazing x-ray reflectrometry technique was used as a way to study modifications in metallic multilayers induced by ion-beam irradiation. Due to the high sensitivity of the technique, short-range atomic displacements of an atom A in a layer B can be detected so that the first stages of ion-beam mixing can be investigated. The rate of mixing is measured and the compound A1−xBx formed at the layers' interfaces is characterized.

The evolution of atomic composition, atomic depth distribution, and structural states of La(OH)3/Cu bilayers prepared by electron gun evaporation and submitted to ion beam irradiation is described. Chemical reactivity of La with O and H is evidenced in the initially deposited La/Cu bilayer, despite the fact that the pure La layer is coated with a thick Cu layer. Ion beam mixing with energetic Au ions, at 300 K and 700 K, results in breaking down the La–O–H bonds, while Cu atoms are knocked into the layer. There is a depth redistribution of the different atomic species, with formation of nonidentified phases.

Ion beam irradiation of solid surfaces may result in the self-organized formation of well-defined topographic nanopatterns. Depending on the irradiation conditions and the material properties, isotropic or anisotropic patterns of differently shaped features may be obtained. Most intriguingly, the periodicities of these patterns can be adjusted in the range between less than twenty and several hundred nanometers, which covers the dimensions of many cellular and extracellular features. However, even though ion beam nanopatterning has been studied for several decades and is nowadays widely employed in the fabrication of functional surfaces, it has found its way into the biomaterials field only recently. This review provides a brief overview of the basics of ion beam nanopatterning, emphasizes aspects of particular relevance for biomaterials applications, and summarizes a number of recent studies that investigated the effects of such nanopatterned surfaces on the adsorption of biomolecules and the response of adhering cells. Finally, promising future directions and potential translational challenges are identified.
