摘要
We present three-dimensional images of ion-irradiated ultrathin oxide films on silicon surfaces, generated from molecular dynamics simulations. The surface has the tendency to form oxide islands as the him is sputtered away by 100 eV Ar+ ions. We also show an image of a "peeling" oxide strand which forms occasionally as a result of ions impacting at an angle of 45 degrees from normal.
