Abstract

Synopsis: In this contribution we present new experimental results for swift heavy ion irradiation under grazing incidence. This particular collision geometry forces the track formation to a region close to the surface, sometimes visible as a chain of individual nanodots, whose length can be controlled by the angle of incidence. For irradiation of mica surfaces a new track form is observed.
