Investigation of ion induced bending mechanism for nanostructures

Ion induced bending is a promising controlled technique for manipulating nanoscale structures. However, the underlying mechanism of the process is not well understood. In this letter, we report a detailed study of the bending mechanism of Si nanowires (NWs) under Ga ^+ irradiation. The microstructur...
