Modification on surface oxide layer structure and surface morphology of niobium by gas cluster ion beam treatments

Recently, it was demonstrated that significant reductions in field emission on Nb surfaces could be achieved by means of a new surface treatment technique called gas cluster ion beam (GCIB). Further study as shown in this paper revealed that GCIB treatments could modify surface irregularities and re...
