Self-organized nanopatterns on carbide surfaces by low energy ion irradiation with metal surfactants — •Omar Bobes, Kun Zhang, and Hans Hofsäss — II. Physikalisches Institut, Universität Göttingen, Friedrich-Hund-Platz 1, 37077 Göttingen, Germany

We investigate the ripple pattern formation on tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) films during normal incidence ion beam erosion under simultaneous deposition of different metallic co-deposited surfactant atoms. We have irradiated ta-C films using 1 keV Ar ions under continuous deposition of titanium, tungsten, Molybdenum and Platinum surfactants. The co-deposition of small amounts of Ti, W and Mo leads to the steady state formation of a TiC, WC or MoC nanocomposite surface layer of few nm thickness. This has a tremendous impact on the evolution of nanoscale surface patterns on ta-C. While the surface keeps always flat under co-deposition of Pt-atoms, where there is no possibility for phase separation, ripple pattern are observed under co-deposition of Ti-atoms. The results confirm that the phase separation is the major driving force for the pattern formation in the case of irradiation with normal incident beam.
