Energetic Parameters for Atomic-Scale Processes on Ag(100)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Key energetic parameters that control growth and mass transport in clean Ag films and nanostructures on Ag(100) are compiled. These parameters have been derived from a number of different types of experiments, and from increasingly refined lattice-gas modeling, over several years. The modeling based upon these parameters appears to have good predictive capability in the temperature range 120−300 K.

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Al Energetic Nano Cluster Impact (ECI) onto the Surface
On the atomic scale, Molecular Dynamic (MD) Simulation of Nano Al cluster impact on Al (100) substrate surface has been carried out for energies of 1-20 eV/atom to understand quantitatively the interaction mechanisms between the cluster atoms and the substrate atoms. The many body Embedded Atom Method (EAM) was used in this simulation. We investigated the maximum substrate temperature Tmax and...
متن کاملSimulations of energetic beam deposition: From picoseconds to seconds
We present a method for simulating crystal growth by energetic beam deposition. The method combines a kinetic Monte Carlo simulation for the thermal surface diffusion with a small scale molecular-dynamics simulation of every single deposition event. We have implemented the method using the effective medium theory as a model potential for the atomic interactions, and present simulations for Ag/A...
متن کاملParameters of ZnS/Metal/ZnS nanostructured systems with different metal layers
ZnS/metal/ZnS (ZMZ) nanomultilayer films with Au, Ag and Cu as a metal layer have been deposited on a glass substrate by thermal evaporation and then, were annealed in air at different temperatures from 100 to 300 ºC for one hour. Several analytical tools such as X-ray diffraction, four point probe and spectrophotometer were used to study the changes in structural, electrical and optical proper...
متن کاملAtomic Scale Structure of Giant Magnetoresistive Multilayers: Energetic Adatom and Surfactant Effects
–The deposition of higher quality giant magnetoresistive (GMR) metal multilayers is essential for improving the performance of magnetic field sensors and nonvolatile random access memories. Improved performance requires reduction of both the atomic scale interfacial roughness and interlayer mixing in the as deposited films. The first step is to develop relationships between controllable process...
متن کاملDiffusion of large two-dimensional Ag clusters on Ag(100).
Scanning tunneling microscopy shows that large two-dimensional Ag clusters on Ag(100) can diffuse. The value of the diffusion coefficient at room temperature is of order 10-17 cm2s-1 and varies little, if at all, with cluster size in the range studied, 100 to 720 atoms per cluster. This weak variation rules out periphery diffusion as the main mechanism of cluster diffusion, suggesting instead t...
