Popis: The initial stages of formation of VN–Ar/He nanocrystalline thin films that were obtained using ion beam-assisted deposition technology have been investigated. It has been shown that the vanadium deposition accompanied by mixed inert and reactive gas beam bombardment leads to the formation of a nanoporous structure. The electron microscopic data and computer simulation results prove that many different processes take place during film structure nucleation, in particular, metal atom deposition, gas–vacancy cluster formation, and their migration, growth and collapse with gas release. As a result, vacant and gas-filled pores with a diameter of 5–50 nm were created.
