Abstract
The morphological evolution of different topographical features (namely cones, ridges, cliffs, and featureless planes), as developed on bombarded copper surfaces as a function of consecutive doses of mass-separated 12 keV Kr+ ions, has been compared. The doses ranged from 1.2 × 1017 ions/cm2 up to 3 × 1019 ions/cm2. We found clear experimental evidence, valid at least for copper as here prepared, that the order of increasing relative stability is cone-ridge-cliff-plane.Keywords
