Abstract

Spherical gold and germanium nanoclusters embedded in silicon dioxide can be shaped into rods and discs by high energy ion irradiation. The experimental work, modelling of the shaping mechanism and computer simulations will be presented.

Keywords: nanostructure; ion irradiation; theory; computer simulation
