We have studied thin film growth of NiAl on Nickel (001) substrate using molecular dynamics simulations (MD) based on the Embedded Atom Method (EAM) potential. An incidence energy of 0.06 eV at 800 K, 900 K and 1000 K was considered. After the deposition process, we have obtained a B2-NiAl structure film with different percentages; 32.6% for the temperature 1000 K, 30% for 900 K and 25% for 800 K. Our investigation has prompt us to analyze the crystalline structure. During the evolution of deposited film, we observe the formation of grains with different orientation, as well as the appearance of vacancies in Ni and Al sublattices and antisites.

AbstractMolecular dynamics simulations have been performed to investigate the chemical and structural processes which occur when molecular clusters of acetylene impact a non-rigid, hydrogenterminated diamond (111) surface at incident hyperthermal kinetic energies. The atoms are characterized by a realistic many-body empirical potential for hydrocarbon systems. The goal is to study the initial stages of thin film growth following impact. Important processes observed during the simulations include polymerization of the cluster molecules, and adsorption (tethering) of some polymer chains to the surface in the initial stages of thin film growth. Further simulations will be necessary to fully determine the characteristics of the film.
