Abstract

Beams of energetic clusters may provide a unique tool for surface modification. Experimental data on the effects of cluster bombardment are still scarce but Molecular Dynamics Simulation may help guide the research in most promising directions. We modeled Ar cluster impact on gold surface and compared the calculated sputtering yield with the available experimental data at 30 keV. The results confirm the uniqueness of cluster impacts characterized by deposition of very high energy density at the surface.
