Popis:	Ion irradiation can cause burrowing of nanoparticles in substrates, strongly depending on the material properties and irradiation parameters. In this study, we demonstrate that the sinking process can be accomplished with ion irradiation of cube-shaped Ag nanoparticles on top of silicon; how ion channeling affects the sinking rate; and underline the importance of the amorphous state of the substrate upon ion irradiation. Based on our experimental findings, the sinking process is described as being driven by capillary forces enabled by ion-induced plastic flow of the substrate. Comment: the manuscript has 25 pages and 6 figures
