Abstract:
1. A method for preparing a film using ion implantation, the method comprising: providing a substrate comprising a first material; embedding a structure within the first material of the substrate, the embedded structure comprising a second material and having pre-selected characteristics, the embedded structure including a lower surface that defines a first interface between the second material of the embedded structure and the first material of the substrate, the embedded structure also including an upper surface that defines a second interface between the second material of the embedded structure and the first material of the substrate; and implanting ions into the second material of the embedded structure to form a substantially continuous film comprising a third material embedded within the second material of the embedded structure, the film comprising the ions obtaining a perturbed arrangement determined by the pre-selected characteristics of the embedded structure, the film comprising the ions including a lower surface that defines a first interface between the third material of the film and the second material of the embedded structure, the film comprising the ions also including an upper surface that defines a second interface between the third material of the film and the second material of the embedded structure.
