We have demonstrated the fabrication of Si- and Ge-incorporated carbon nanofibers (CNFs) at room temperature. Graphite foil surfaces were irradiated by Ar+ and Ne+ ions with simultaneous Si and Ge supply, and the dependences of the ion-induced composite CNFs surface morphology on the ion species and...
