We study structural, electronic, and energy properties of pure zirconium with isolated vacancies and their clusters. We discuss the lattice constant change in pure zirconium with different concentrations of isolated vacancy ...

Two-level modeling for nanoscale pattern formation on silicon target by Ar+ ion sputtering is presented. Phase diagram illustrating possible nanosize surface patterns is discussed. Scaling characteristics for the structure ...

We consider the dynamics of pattern formation in a system of point defects under sustained irradiation within the framework of the rate theory. In our study we generalize the standard approach taking into account a production ...

In this article we study transitions from low-density states towards high-density states in bistable plasmacondensate systems. We take into account an anisotropy in transference of adatoms between neighbour layers induced ...
