Read moreIonenstrahlen werden schon lange eingesetzt, um Oberfl�chen zu ver�ndern. Ionen k�nnen dabei so hohe Energien besitzen, dass bereits ein einziges Teilchen drastische Ver�nderungen auf der damit beschossenen Oberfl�che hervorruft. Nach sorgf�ltigen Untersuchungen konnte das internationale Forschungsteam nun erkl�ren, warum sich dabei manchmal Einschusskrater, in anderen F�llen hingegen Erhebungen bilden.
