Erosion of carbon fiber composites under high-fluence heavy ion irradiation

Relief evolution of HOPG under high-fluence 30keV argon ion irradiation

“…The dependence of the sputtering yield on the incidence angle, Y(h), and distribution of the local ion incidence angles for the rough surface, f(h), found either experimentally or with a particular model of the surface relief are usually considered as a basis for relevant computer modeling [31]. Both the local surface gradient and effect of surface curvature should be considered in calculations related to the sputtering of a surface with a nanosized relief.…”
