Abstract The effect of driving frequency on the structure of silicon grown on Ag (111) film is investigated, which was prepared by using the very-high-frequency (VHF) (40.68 MHz and 60 MHz) magnetron sputtering. The energy and flux density of the ions impinging on the substrate are also analyzed. It is found that for the 60-MHz VHF magnetron sputtering, the surface of silicon on Ag (111) film exhibits a small cone structure, similar to that of Ag (111) film substrate, indicating a better microstructure continuity. However, for the 40.68-MHz VHF magnetron sputtering, the surface of silicon on Ag (111) film shows a hybrid structure of hollowed-cones and hollowed-particles, which is completely different from that of Ag (111) film. The change of silicon structure is closely related to the differences in the ion energy and flux density controlled by the driving frequency of sputtering.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
