Abstract
In this work, using a combination of optical, electron and atomic force microscopy methods, we study the effect of modifying silver products with a powerful nanosecond ion beam or changing the morphology of their surface layers and operational properties (susceptibility to blackening and scratching). It has been established that exposure to an ion beam contributes to a significant reduction in the number of scratches on the surface of silver items while they are worn, which is presumably due to a change in the morphology of the surface of the irradiated samples. In addition, it was discovered that exposure to a powerful ion beam reduces the rate of blackening of silver.
