Abstract: The surface morphology and the composition of polymer layers based on chlorinated polyvinylchloride with addition of ferrocene (up to 10% of the polymer mass) subject to the action of a nanosecond high-power ion beam are studied. It is demonstrated that carbon material in the form of nanofibers with an average diameter of 80 nm and a length of up to 10 $\mu$m is formed on a surface singly irradiated by such beam with a current density of $\sim$100 A/cm$^2$. A possible mechanism of the observed phenomenon is discussed.

Keywords: Ferrocene, Technical Physic Letter, Polymer Layer, Silicon Content, Polymer Mass.
