Simulation of the Interaction of Bipartite Bimetallic Clusters with Low-Energy Argon Clusters

摘要

Molecular-dynamics simulation of the evolution of bipartite bimetallic clusters consisting of 390 atoms during bombardment by Ar-n (n = 1, 2, 13) clusters with initial energies from 1 eV to 1.4 keV is performed. Binary Cu-Au and Ni-Al clusters consisting of equal atomic fractions of corresponding elements were used as a target. As a result of simulation, the temperatures, changes in the potential energy, sputtering yields, and intensities of collision-stimulated displacement of atoms through the interface of monometallic parts of binary clusters, depending on the size and energy of incident particle, are obtained.
