Abstract
The generation and development of surface features by ion bombardment induced sputtering erosion of f.c.c. metals is reviewed. Studies with polycrystalline substrates reveal the plethora of individual features, both etch pits and cones and the repetitive features, such as ripple trains, which form differently on different crystallite surfaces. Studies with well defined single crystals clarify the origins of such features and the relative independence of their habit on ion species and substrate material.
