Dynamics of Microstructure in the Early Stages of Ion Beam Assisted Film Growth

Recent progress in low energy ion-surface interactions, and the early stages of ion-assisted epitaxy of semiconductor thin films is described. Advances in three areas are discussed: dynamics of displacements and defect incorporation, nucleation mechanisms, and the use of ion bombardment to modify epitaxial growth kinetics in a truly surface-selective manner.
