Nonlinear Ripple Formation in Sputter Erosion
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
We investigate the morphological features of sputter eroded surfaces, demonstrating that while at short times ripple formation is described by the linear theory, after a characteristic time the nonlinear terms determine the surface morphology. We also show that the morphological transitions induced by the nonlinear effects can be detected by monitoring the surface width and the erosion velocity.
