ABSTRACTThis work presents molecular dynamics simulations of low-energy (40-80 eV) ionbeam mixing of thin metallic hetero-structures. The results indicate that the propagation of the cascade may maintain or even restore crystallinity in disordered interfacial regions.

ABSTRACTThis work presents results of molecular dynamics simulations of the intermixing of a heterostructure formed by a Fe-Ag bilayer of thickness of few tens of Å. The intermixing is generated by As+ ions with energy of few eV. It has been found that the structure of the lattice has profound effects on mixing and disordering.

ABSTRACTThis work presents a molecular dynamics simulation of the intermixing of a metallic bilayer. The aim of the simulation is to elicit, in a more rigourous manner than in standard theoretical approaches, trends and phenomena taking place during the post-collisional stage of the cascade.

ABSTRACTMolecular dynamics simulations are performed of low-energy ion irradiation of two-dimensional Cu islands on a Cu(111) surface. The irradiation of the surface with low-energy particles influences the mobility of the atoms in the surface region and therefore may alter the thin film growth Mode. The effect of 100 eV Ar+ ions incident at grazing angles is limited to situations in which the ions hit the edges of the islands. In Most cases the islands lose one or two atoms. Changing the angle-of-incidence or changing the type of the incident particle has a strong influence on the size distribution of the two-dimensional islands.
