In this work, RIMAPS technique is extended to predict the topographic pattern produced by etching metallic surfaces, using aluminum to give examples of RIMAPS prediction capability. The remarkable coincidence of peaks ...

Surface defects were created on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by catalytic steam gasification or catalytic etching with iron as catalysts. The structure and morphology of the etched CNTs were studied by transmission electron ...

Background: There are different etching gels available, which have different composition, different pH, and different viscosity, and there is little information in the literature comparing all these products. Objective: ...

Etch hillocks formation was studied experimentally and modeled using the Monte Carlo method. Simulations were used to explore the consequences of site-dependent detachment probabilities on surface morphology for a one- and ...

Supersaturation etching starts with Cl insertion into Si-Si bonds of Si(100) and leads to the desorption of SiCl2 pairs. During etching, insertion occurs through a Cl2 dissociative chemisorption process mediated by single ...

The formation of etch hillocks was explored in the framework of a site-dependent detachment probabilities model. Monte Carlo simulations were carried out for a one-dimensional substrate within a restricted solid-on-solid ...
