Ion beam noise may support pattern formation by sputtering — Reiner Kree1, •Taha Yasseri1, and Alexander K.

It is discussed in the literature that, beam divergence may produce new scenarios of pattern formation on surfaces by ion beams sputtering (IBS). We have extended the continuum theory and the Monte Carlo simulation of IBS. pattern formation to include noisy beam which is following a Kent distribution, which is a reasonable approximation of the experimentally observed beam divergence.
We found several pattern forming scenarios differing from the Bradley-Harper scenario, which are discussed mainly using Monte Carlo data and a linear mode analysis of the continuum theory.
