Ion processing of the reactive surface of a free‐standing polycrystalline metal film induces a flow of atoms into grain boundaries, resulting in plastic deformation. A thorough experimental and theoretical analysis of this process is presented, along with the demonstration of novel engineering concepts for precisely controlled 3D assembly at micro‐ and nanoscopic scales.
With the advent of nanotechnology, metals will have to be processed at a much smaller scale and new engineering concepts are required. On page 91, Khattiya Chalapat and co‐workers demonstrate the assembly of metallic nano‐3D‐structures by plastic deformation that is induced either on the surface by reactive ion etching or within the metal matrix by focused ion beam. The front cover image illustrates...
