ABSTRACTMolecular dynamics simulations, utilizing the Tersoff many-body potential, were used to investigate the effects of 10 eV Si atom bombardment of a (001)2×1 terminated Si lattice. The irradiation events were initiated at an array of points in the primitive surface unit cell. Each event was followed to determine kinetic energy redistribution in the lattice as a function of time, projectile and lattice atom trajectories, and the nature, number, and depth of residual defects. Dimer breaking, epitaxial growth, position exchange, and the formation of residual hexagonal and split interstitials were observed. There were no residual vacancies. Impact points leading to each of the above results clustered in distinctly different regions of the surface unit cell. Bulk interstitials were annealed out over time scales corresponding to monolayer deposition during Si MBE.

ABSTRACTWe have performed molecular dynamics simulations using a recently developed empirical many-body potential energy function to study the collision of the C60 isomer buckmin-sterfullerene with a hydrogen-terminated diamond surface. The simulations indicate that the cluster can react with the surface and has a larger probability of gaining atoms from the surface than of losing atoms to the surface. We have investigated the dependence of the reaction probability on the initial center-of-mass translational velocity of the cluster. The structures and energy distributions of the product clusters have been determined. Both inelastically and reactively scattered clusters have large amounts of internal energy which suggests that gas-phase dissociation is likely.


Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed for normal incidence carbon bombardment of diamond {100}, diamond {111} and graphite {1000} using a many-body potential formalism and bombardment energies in the keV/sub-keV range in order to examine the ejection of atoms from the crystal. Energy and angular distributions of ejected material are calculated with an analysis of the important ejection mechanisms, including molecular ejection.

The effect of chirality on the structural stability of single-wall carbon nanotubes have been investigated by performing molecular-dynamics computer simulations. Calculations have been realized by using an empirical many-body potential energy function for carbon. It has been found that carbon nanotube in chiral structure is more stable under heat treatment relative to zigzag and armchair models. The diameter of the tubes is slightly enlarged under heat treatment.
