Abstract
In the paper, the effect of natural dust deposited from the air on the evaporation rate from the water surface is experimentally investigated. Experiments were conducted for stationary liquid without wind blowing across the surface and with mild wind that does not deform the surface, at a constant rate of particle deposition. It is shown that the evaporation rate is a linear function of the difference in the saturated vapor pressure at the water surface and the partial pressure of the air mixture at the temperature and relative humidity in the laboratory at the beginning of the deposition process, when the proportion of the surface covered with dust is small. With the increase in deposition time, hydrophobic particles gather into conglomerates, reducing the proportion of the exposed surface and the evaporation rate.

Abstract
The surface treatment of single-crystal germanium with an argon cluster ion beam has been investigated. The original surface of the germanium wafers was bombarded with argon cluster ions with high (105 eV/atom) and low (10 eV/atom) specific energies. Using an atomic force microscope, images were obtained and a comparison of the surface topography before and after cluster ion bombardment was conducted. The smoothing of the surface was demonstrated using the power spectral density function of roughness in the range of spatial frequencies: 1) (nu=1{-}8)
