Ion beam synthesis
Ion beam synthesis is a powerful method for creating phases with new chemical constituents and specific structures in the surface layers of materials. As example, the ion beam can be used to make metal nanoparticles in the surface layer of a polymer. The mobility of the implanted species in the polymer matrix can be increased significantly if the implantation is performed into a liquid polymer matrix with low viscosity. The influence of viscosity on diffusion processes in the implanted matrix leads to differences in the shape and size of the metal particles. Highly ordered carbonized nanomembranes can be synthesized using ion implantation. The thickness of the PS-PVP-PS co-polymer template is in range of 20–100 nm, and the ...
