摘要
Molecular dynamics (MD) have been employed to model self sputtering yields of an Ag(111) surface under bombardment with Ag (m = 1,2,3,4) projectiles. It is shown that the effect of projectile orientation on the sputter yield decreases strongly with increasing m and becomes practically negligible under Ag-4 impact. For polyatomic projectiles we observe a nonlinear yield enhancement which is discussed in terms of the collisional spike model of Sigmund and Claussen. It is shown that the MD simulation provides a unique method to determine the essential input parameters T-0 and <p(0)(2)> entering that model. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
