Abstract

We use molecular dynamics to analyze the dependence on the impact angle of the distribution of defects originated by the deposition of a Ag/sub 19/ cluster on Pd(100) at initial kinetic energies 0.1, 2, 20 and 95 eV. For increasing energy the cluster undergoes a transition from a multi-layered adsorbed structure to a two-dimensional one. Implantation of Ag atoms and promotion of Pd substrate atoms is common to all energies and angles and, for a given initial total kinetic energy, it increases with decreasing impact angle.

Physical vapor deposition

Physical vapor deposition (PVD), sometimes called physical vapor transport (PVT), describes a variety of vacuum deposition methods which can be used to produce thin films and coatings on substrates including metals, ceramics, glass, and polymers. PVD is characterized by a process in which the material transitions from a condensed phase to a vapor phase and then back to a thin film condensed phase. The most common PVD processes are sputtering and evaporation.

Potential energy

In physics, potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors. The term potential energy was introduced by the 19th-century Scottish engineer and physicist William Rankine, although it has links to the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle's concept of potentiality. Common types of potential energy include the gravitational potential energy of an object, the elastic potential energy of an extended spring, and the electric potential energy of an electric charge in an electric field.

Vacuum deposition

Vacuum deposition , also known as vacuum coating or thin-film deposition, is a group of processes used to deposit layers of material atom-by-atom or molecule-by-molecule on a solid surface. These processes operate at pressures well below atmospheric pressure (i.e., vacuum). The deposited layers can range from a thickness of one atom up to millimeters, forming freestanding structures. Multiple layers of different materials can be used, for example to form optical coatings.
