Simulation study on nanocluster growth by ion beam synthesis

Size selected growth of nanodots: Ion beam assisted deposition and transition from 2D to 3D growth

“…The ion bombardment is connected to the properties of dot distribution, as is seen in study of Au quantum dots inside silica [3,4]. A reaction kinetic model concerning the effect of the ion flux to spherical dots has predicted the sharpening behaviour of the size distribution [5].…”
