Nano-hillock formation in diamond-like carbon induced by swift heavy projectiles in the electronic stopping regime: Experiments and atomistic simulations

Abstract: The formation of surface hillocks in diamond-like carbon is studied experimentally and by means of large-scale molecular dynamics simulations with 5 Â 10 6 atoms combined with a thermal spike model. The irradiation experiments with swift heavy ions cover a large electronic stopping range between $12 and 72 keV/nm. Both experiments and simulations show that beyond a stopping power threshold, the hillock height increases linearly with the electronic stopping, and agree extremely well assuming an efficiency of ap… Show more

“…) and RMS roughness images of irradiated film ( 1e 13 ions/cm 2 dose ). Since no hillock formation at the surface is noticed, it is clear that conducting track did not form in the DLC film as the electronic energy loss ( 6.7 keV/ nm ) of 130 MeV Ni ions calculated using SRIM, is less than the energy loss threshold for track formation ( 10 +/-2 keV / nm ) [15].…”

“…44,48,49,51,[116][117][118][119] Este modelo asume que la energía depositada por el ion en los electrones es transmitida en su totalidad a los átomos en un corto tiempo (~decenas de ps). 114 Por tanto, el modelo establece una región cilíndrica siguiendo la trayectoria rectilínea y uniforme del ion (ver Figura 3.2), cuyo radio (a) depende de la densidad de energía que, como mostraremos en la sección 5.4.1 del Capítulo 5, está relacionada con la velocidad.…”

“…35,41,100 Este tipo de irradiación también ha sido estudiada mediante dinámica molecular para otros materiales (sílice sólida y líquida, cuarzo, oro, argón, oxígeno sólido, grafito y diamante), con buenos resultados. 44,48,49,51,[116][117][118][119] La evolución térmica impuesta por estos modelos atomísticos establece que toda la energía del ion pasa a los átomos en un periodo muy corto, estableciendo una energía cinética inicial determinada para los átomos en torno al recorrido del ion. Otro modelo más complicado se basa en incluir dentro de la dinámica molecular el modelo de 2 temperaturas, 120,121 representado por la ecuación:…”
