Magnetoresistance and ion bombardment induced magnetic patterning
In this thesis the combination of the magnetic patterning of the unidirectional anisotropy and the tunnel magnetoresistance effect is investigated. In my diploma thesis, it has been shown that it is in principle possible to use the magnetic patterning by ion bombardment to magnetically structure …

Low Energy Ion Bombardment Effects in Supersaturated Copper-Indium Alloys
Scanning transmission electron microscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy were used to investigate the effects of low energy (200 - 3000 eV) Ar('+) ion bombardment of supersaturated Cu:In alloys. Ion bombardment always resulted in the preferential sputtering of In although for sample temperatures …

The effects of ion bombardment on the chemical reactivity of GaAs(100)
The effects of ion bombardment on the chemical reactivity of GaAs(100) were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The enhancement in reactivity was shown to be related to the energy and mass of the bombarding ion. The oxidation results were compared to chemically cleaned (1:1 …

A plasma-wall interaction model for the erosion of materials under ion bombardment
Understanding the evolution and behavior of materials exposed to plasma is critical for the design of future electric propulsion devices. As ions are ejected from the device generating thrust, they also impact the ceramic walls. This induces wall erosion, ultimately exposing the magnetic circuit …

Modeling and analysis of nanoscale surface patterns produced by broad beam ion bombardment
When a solid surface is exposed to broad beam ion bombardment, nanoscale patterns may spontaneously form. This physical phenomenon is of interest to both the academic and nanofabrication communities. Ion bombardment has the potential to provide a cost-efficient method of producing nanoscale …
