Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Energetic Ar Cluster Bombardment of Ag(111)

Abstract: Large-scale molecular dynamics computer simulations are used to investigate the dynamics of material ejection during high-energy Arn cluster bombardment of Ag(111) at normal incidence. The silver sample containing 7 million atoms is bombarded with Arn projectiles (n = 45−30000) with kinetic energy spanning from a few keV up to 1 MeV. Such a wide range of projectile parameters allows probing processes taking place during low-density collision cascade as well as during high-density events characteristic of micro… Show more

“…5 During these studies, an interesting observation was made that the scatter in data points in the dependence of the sputtering yield Y against the incident kinetic cluster energy E for different clusters sizes can be reduced to nearly a curve, if the variables Y and E are presented in quantities scaled by the number of cluster atoms n, that is, Y/n vs E/n. 6 This observation was then confirmed by numerous studies, both experimental 7,8 and computational, [9][10][11] for various solids (Ag, Si, SiO 2 , Irganox, and polystyrene) and the cluster beams (C 60 , Ar n ). The results for atomic and molecular solids, however, separate into two distinct regions on a Y/n vs E/n plot.…”

“…6,12,13,17 It has also been interpreted as a quantity proportional to the squared velocity of the cluster, and as such presented as the energy per cluster mass E/m if results for different cluster types were compared on the same plot. [9][10][11] It is not intuitively obvious which variation, E/n or E/m, is correct, although the "velocity" interpretation fits with the bead model that considers the whole cluster as a single particle losing energy due to friction. 18,19 For this study, we analyzed MD simulations of a model system, in which Ag(111) samples were bombarded by Ar n clusters.…”

“…Молекулярно-динамическое моделирование бомбардировки кластеров n Ti ( 7,13,15,19 n  ) атомами титана проводили в NVEансамбле с использованием многочастичного потенциала сильной связи [17,18]. Используемая функция межатомного взаимодействия широко используется не только для расчета равновесных структур кластеров [10,11], но и при моделировании ионной бомбардировки твердых тел и наноструктур [14,15,[19][20][21].…”
