Influence of Collision Cascade Statistics on Pattern Formation of Ion-Sputtered Surfaces

Theoretical continuum models that describe the formation of patterns on surfaces of targets undergoing ion-beam sputtering, are based on Sigmund's formula, which describes the spatial distribution of the energy deposited by the ion. For small angles of incidence and amorphous or polycrystalline materials, this description seems to be suitable, and leads to the classic BH morphological theory [R.M. Bradley and J.M.E. Harper, J. Vac. Sci. Technol. A 6, 2390 (1988)]. Here we study the sputtering of Cu crystals by means of numerical simulations under the binary-collision approximation. We observe significant deviations from Sigmund's energy distribution. In particular, the distribution that best fits our simulations has a minimum near the position where the ion penetrates the surface, and the decay of energy deposition with distance to ion trajectory is exponential rather than Gaussian. We provide a modified continuum theory which takes these effects into account and explores the implications of the modified energy distribution for the surface morphology. In marked contrast with BH's theory, the dependence of the sputtering yield with the angle of incidence is non-monotonous, with a maximum for non-grazing incidence angles.Comment: 12 pages, 13 figures, RevTe

Brain putamen volume changes in newly-diagnosed patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is accompanied by cognitive, motor, autonomic, learning, and affective abnormalities. The putamen serves several of these functions, especially motor and autonomic behaviors, but whether global and specific sub-regions of that structure are damaged is unclear. We assessed global and regional putamen volumes in 43 recently-diagnosed, treatment-naïve OSA (age, 46.4 ± 8.8 years; 31 male) and 61 control subjects (47.6 ± 8.8 years; 39 male) using high-resolution T1-weighted images collected with a 3.0-Tesla MRI scanner. Global putamen volumes were calculated, and group differences evaluated with independent samples t-tests, as well as with analysis of covariance (covariates; age, gender, and total intracranial volume). Regional differences between groups were visualized with 3D surface morphometry-based group ratio maps. OSA subjects showed significantly higher global putamen volumes, relative to controls. Regional analyses showed putamen areas with increased and decreased tissue volumes in OSA relative to control subjects, including increases in caudal, mid-dorsal, mid-ventral portions, and ventral regions, while areas with decreased volumes appeared in rostral, mid-dorsal, medial-caudal, and mid-ventral sites. Global putamen volumes were significantly higher in the OSA subjects, but local sites showed both higher and lower volumes. The appearance of localized volume alterations points to differential hypoxic or perfusion action on glia and other tissues within the structure, and may reflect a stage in progression of injury in these newly-diagnosed patients toward the overall volume loss found in patients with chronic OSA. The regional changes may underlie some of the specific deficits in motor, autonomic, and neuropsychologic functions in OSA

Morse matchings on polytopes

We show how to construct homology bases for certain CW complexes in terms of discrete Morse theory and cellular homology. We apply this technique to study certain subcomplexes of the half cube polytope studied in previous works. This involves constructing explicit complete acyclic Morse matchings on the face lattice of the half cube; this procedure may be of independent interest for other highly symmetric polytopes
