Abstract
The first stages of growth of gold layers obtained by high energy IBAD have been investigated. Morphological parameters have been calculated from TEM micrographs with the use of image processing. For low Au dep osit, assisted deposition leads to a lowering of the cluster density w hile an opposite result is obtained for higher Au deposit, resulting f rom an increase of the small clusters part in the double peak size dis tribution. It is interpreted as the result of a competition between en hanced diffusion and ballistic dissolution effects.
