Abstract
Sputtering of surfaces by collimated, low-energy ion beams results in spontaneous pattern formation in many systems. In order to explore the mechanisms that control the pattern formation, we have used in situ light scattering to measure the evolution of sputtered Si(0 0 1) surfaces. The results are interpreted within a linear instability model originally proposed by R.M. Bradley and J.M.E. Harper [J. Vac. Sci. Technol. A 6 (1988) 2390] that includes the dependence of the sputter yield on the local surface morphology.
