The models of random media used at present in describing polycrystal scattering cannot explain some experimental facts, such as the double-scattering peak in the energy spectra of reflected ions. Two models of simulation of ion interactions with polycrystals are proposed here, namely 1) the model of random filling of the coordinative spheres in which the polycrystal is represented by a set of singlecrystal coordinative spheres with arbitrary positions of atoms and the distances between a t o m may sometimes be smaller than those in single crystal, a fact that can be treated as the presence of an imbedded atom; 2) the model of arbitrary selection of the bombarded face in which the surface and incidence planes are selected randomly for each ion (or of a group of ions). In both models, the atoms are free, the Born-Mayer potential is used, and thermal vibrations of a t o m are included. A good agreement with experimental results has been obtained in both methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
