Sputtering and redeposition of ion irradiated Au nanoparticle arrays: direct comparison of simulations to experiments

Ion beam processing of surfaces is well known to lead to sputtering, which conventionally is associated only with erosion of atoms from the material. We show here, by combination of experiments and a newly developed Monte Carlo algorithm, that in the case of nanoparticles in a regular two-dimensiona...
