Interaction of mev atomic ions with molecular solids: Ion track structure and sputtering phenomena

• Recent results obtained in our research groups from studies of the interactions of swift, heavy atomic ions with molecular solids are concisely outlined. The focus is on material ejection (sputtering) and surface track formation. The experimental techniqu
