Simulation of nanocolumn formation in low-temperature plasmas — •Jan Willem Abraham, Lasse Rosenthal, and Michael Bonitz — Institut für theor. Physik und Astrophysik, CAU Kiel

Metal-polymer nanocomposites are of growing interest in many fields because the diverse physical features of their constituents allow for the production of materials with interesting novel properties. Recent experiments [1] and simulations [2] have shown that co-evaporation of the metallic and organic components in a simple single-step process can give rise to the formation of ultrahigh-density Fe-Ni-Co nanocolumnar structures embedded in a fluoropolymer matrix. Accompanying upcoming experiments, we show new results from kinetic Monte Carlo simulations that are expected to answer the question whether similar structures can also be produced in a plasma environment.
