Self-organization of nanoneedles in Fe/GaAs (001) epitaxial thin film

Well-aligned nanoneedles are found to form in a FeGaAs (001) epitaxial thin film when irradiated with a Ga+ ion beam normal to the sample surface at an ion dose of 3× 1017 cm2 in a focused ion beam. These nanoneedles, with their axes perpendicular to the original sample surface, are composed of GaAs...
