Nanostructuring of sapphire by ion-induced plasma

Sapphire single crystals were irradiated with slow highly charged xenon ions from electron beam ion trap (EBIT) facility. Scanning electron microscopic measurements showed the ability of the used ions in creating surface nanohillocks by single ion impacts. A test charge approach is used to provide a...
