Abstract:The sputtering behaviour of hexagonal or wurtzite polycrystal nitrides of boron, aluminium, and gallium was explored employing methods of molecular dynamics. The sputtering yield Y of nitrides and the average energyĒ 1 of emitted particles were studied as dependent on the mass m 1 of bombarding He, Li, B, N, Ne, Al, Ar, Ni, Ga, Kr, and Xe ions with the initial energy E 0 between 200 and 10,000 eV. Y (m 1 ) andĒ 1 (m 1 ) were researched upon for preferential sputtering of nitride components at low E 0 . It was … Show more
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.
