Monte Carlo studies of positron implantation in elemental metallic and multilayer systems

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10107087
We have used a Monte Carlo computer code developed at Brookhaven {sup 1,2} to study the implantation profiles of 1-10 keV positrons incident on a wide range of semi-infinite metals and multilayer systems. Our Monte Carlo program accounts for elastic scattering as well as inelastic scattering from core and valence electrons, and includes the excitation of plasmons. The implantation profiles of positrons in many metals as well as Pd/Al, and Al/Co/Si multilayers are presented. Scaling relations and closed-form expressions representing he implantation profiles are also discussed.
