摘要
Ion beams at varied energies have been used as versatile and powerful technique for synthesizing nanophases of materials on and near the surface region of a variety of host matrices. An overview of recent developments regarding fabrication of semiconductor nanoparticles using energetic ion beams is presented. Results of new initiatives on the production of group IV (Si and Ge) nanostructures of desired size by high-energy heavy ions are discussed. Controlled crystallization in the nanometer scale takes place around the trajectory of the swift heavy ion passing through the host matrix. Nanoparticles with specific phases can be formed in a controlled manner by dense electronic excitation due to melting and subsequent fast cooling of the region along the trajectories of the ion beams.
