Ion beam-induced shaping of Ni nanoparticles embedded in a silica matrix: from spherical to prolate shape
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Present work reports the elongation of spherical Ni nanoparticles (NPs) parallel to each other, due to bombardment with 120 MeV Au<sup>+9 </sup>ions at a fluence of 5 × 10<sup>13 </sup>ions/cm<sup>2</sup>. The Ni NPs e...
