Planar channeling in wurtzite structured ZnO (0001): Anisotropic effects due to the non-centrosymmetric structure

Angular asymmetry of the nuclear interaction probability of high energy particles in short bent crystals

“…4 shows that for a straight crystal of the same length the INI probability is symmetric relative to the plane direction and increases around the channeling minimum, over a shorter range than for a bent crystal. This symmetric behaviour for straight and strained crystal is already well measured using backscattered MeV ions, as reported in [16][17][18].…”

A simulation study of mega electron-volt helium ion channeling and shadow effect in titania nanotubes

“…3 The ion channeling process combined with Rutherford Backscattering spectrometry is used as a standard tool to investigate the properties of crystals and their impurity locations of which the details cannot be extracted using other methods, for example, X-ray diffraction. [4][5][6][7][8] While the majority of the earlier channeling studies were focused on single crystal materials, nanotubes and ordered nanoporous structures have captured interest in recent decades after the discovery of carbon nanotubes. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Pores (voids) of size a few to hundreds of nanometers surrounded by dense walls make the channeling process through these architectures distinct from that in single crystals with Angstrom scale interplanar spacing.…”
