The proposed technique seems to be rather promising for the formation of electronic devices of extremely small sizes. In fact, its resolution is about 0.5-0.8 nm, which is comparable to that of molecular beam epitaxy. However, molecular beam epitaxy is a complicated and expensive technique. All the processes are carried out at 10 vacuum and repair extrapure materials. In the proposed technique, the layers are synthesized at normal conditions and, therefore, it is much less expansive. The presented results had demonstrated the possibility of the formation of superlattices with this technique. The next step will be the fabrication of devices based on these superlattices. To begin with, two types of devices wiU be focused on. The first will be a resonant tunneling diode. In this case the quantum weU will be surrounded by two quantum barriers. In the case of symmetrical structure, the resonant... 

Ion neutralization (or Ion survival) can dominate this technique. A number of theories have arisen to account for this phenomenon, but all seem to Include both Auger transitions and resonance tunneling processes as the dominant means of Ion neutralization.(4,5) For very slow Ions, as In LEISS, Auger...
