Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of ion-induced ripple formation: Dependence on flux, temperature, and defect concentration in the linear regime

Journal Article Chason, E ; Chan, W L ; Bharathi, M S - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Low-energy ion bombardment produces spontaneous periodic structures (sputter ripples) on many surfaces. Continuum theories describe the pattern formation in terms of ion-surface interactions and surface relaxation kinetics, but many features of these models (such as defect concentration) are unknown or difficult to determine. In this work, we present results of kinetic Monte Carlo simulations that model surface evolution using discrete atomistic versions of the physical processes included in the continuum theories. From simulations over a range of parameters, we obtain the dependence of the ripple growth rate, wavelength, and velocity on the ion flux and temperature. The results are discussedmore »« less

Theoretical prediction and atomic kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of void superlattice self-organization under irradiation

Journal Article Gao, Yipeng ; Zhang, Yongfeng ; Schwen, Daniel ; ... - Scientific Reports

Nano-structured superlattices may have novel physical properties and irradiation is a powerful mean to drive their self-organization. However, the formation mechanism of superlattice under irradiation is still open for debate. Here we use atomic kinetic Monte Carlo simulations in conjunction with a theoretical analysis to understand and predict the self-organization of nano-void superlattices under irradiation, which have been observed in various types of materials for more than 40 years but yet to be well understood. The superlattice is found to be a result of spontaneous precipitation of voids from the matrix, a process similar to phase separation in regular solidmore »« less

The early stage of formation of self-organized nanocolumns in thin films: Monte Carlo simulations versus atomic-scale observations in Ge-Mn

Journal Article Mouton, I. ; Talbot, E., E-mail: etienne.talbot@univ-rouen.fr ; Pareige, C. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Formation kinetics of self-organized nanocolumns during epitaxial growth of a thin film composed of immiscible elements (A,B) has been investigated using Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. Simulated nanostructures show a good agreement with those observed in Ge-Mn using Atom Probe Tomography and Transmission Electron Microscopy. Self organisation is observed although the rigid lattice simulations used do not account for misfit elastic strain. Simulations reveal that the final nanostructure, in term of number density and diameter of nanocolumns, is controlled by the early stages of growth of the film. The influence of both growth temperature and solute concentration on the nanostructure featuresmore » is discussed in details.« less

Crater formation in Langmuir--Blodgett films induced by electronic sputtering with fast heavy ions

Journal Article Saeve, G ; Ha-circlekansson, P ; Sundqvist, B U.R. ; ... - Appl. Phys. Lett.; (United States)

Secondary ion formation by fast heavy ion impact (electronic sputtering) on Langmuir--Blodgett films of fatty acids has been studied. The results show unambiguously that molecular ions originate from molecules in layers other than the surface layer. Furthermore, the results indicate that craters may be formed in electronic sputtering of such films. The depth of the craters depends on the stopping power of the incident ion and lower limits of the order of 100--200 A are obtained from the ion data.

Ion induced atom motion effects studied using Monte Carlo computer simulation, loss of target mass, and secondary-electron imaging of the surface

Thesis/Dissertation Andreadis, T D

The investigation of some effects of the bombardment of material surfaces by keV ions has been carried out using a Monte Carlo computer simulation. This code models the target as an amorphous semi-infinite solid. Up to three elements may be used in the solid. The target's composition change during bombardment is simulated. Of the many phenomena taking place during the bombardment the simulation program will be used to study the dose dependence of the sputtering yield and ion-induced Auger electron emission. The study concludes that implanted Ar beam atoms do not alter the kinematics of the target by the amountmore »« less
