Effects of N-ion implantation on surface modification of synthetic single crystalline ruby (Cr-doped Al2O3) and sapphire (α-Al2O3) were studied. N ions at energy 120 keV were implanted to samples with doses ranging from 1×1016 to 1×1018 ions/cm2. Temperature studies ruled out the effect of ion-beam...
