Bombardment of Ni(100) Surface With Low-Energy Argons: Molecular Dynamics Simulations
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2005) Güvenç, ZB; Hippler, R; Jackson, B
Results of molecular dynamics simulations of the sputtering of Ni(100) by Ar atoms are reported. The solid is described by an embedded atom potential, and the interaction between the projectile and the metal atoms is modelled by a Morse-like function. Processes leading to Ni atom emissions from the lattice are analysed over the energy range of 70-80 eV In this energy range cluster (larger than three atoms) emission is not observed. The maximum penetration depth of Ar, the kinetic energy and angular distributions of the reflected Ar, and the sputtered Ni atoms are evaluated as functions of the impact energy and sputtering time. The computed sputtering yield is compared with the available theoretical and experimental data. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Molecular Dynamics Study of a Thermal Expansion Coefficient: Ti Bulk With an Elastic Minimum Image Method
(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2006) Hundur, Y; Hippler, R; Güvenc, ZB
Linear thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) of Ti bulk is investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulation. The elastic minimum image convention of periodic boundary conditions is introduced to allow the bulk to adjust its size according to the new fixed temperature. The TEC and the specific heat of Ti are compared to the available theoretical and experimental data.

Sputtering Yield and Dynamical Analysis of Ni(100) Surface: a Comparison of Four Different Ar-Surface Interaction Potentials
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2000) Güvenç, ZB; Hundur, Y; Hippler, R
The sputtering process of the Ar + Ni(100) collision system is investigated by means of constant energy molecular dynamics simulations. The Ni(100) is mimicked by an embedded-atom potential, and the interaction between the projectile and the surface is modelled by using four different screened Coulomb type potentials. The Ni atom emission from the lattice is analysed over the range of 10-40 eV collision energy. The maximum penetration depths of Ar, probability distributions of kinetic energy of the reflected Ar, and energy of the Ar and sputtered Ni atoms in the same collision events are evaluated as functions of the impact energy and sputtering time. Further, angular distributions of the scattered Ar are obtained. The calculated sputtering yields are compared with the available theoretical and experimental data. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
