- This paper published in the Q1 journal Materials Research Express reports on the role temperature plays in the atomistic mechanisms driving irradiation-induced bending of nanostructures. Often attributed to damage accumulation which is suppressed at the elevated temperatures used in this work, we demonstrated the importance of other mechanisms, such as those based on surface reconfiguration, and how nanostructures can be engineered using ion beam techniques whilst still maintaining their crystallinity. It has already been cited by colleagues at the University of Groningen (THE rank 79th) in their work on the role of interstitial clusters in nanofabrication (DOI: 10.1007/s10853-018-2067-0).
