Nanoscale precipitation patterns in carbon–nickel nanocomposite thin films: Period and tilt control via ion energy and deposition angle

Periodic precipitation patterns in C:Ni nanocomposites grown by energetic ion codeposition areinvestigated. Films were grown at room temperature by ionized physical vapor deposition using apulsed filtered cathodic vacuum arc. We reveal the role of the film composition, ion energy andincidence angle...
