DYNAMICS OF ADSORPTION, EXCHANGE-REACTIONS, AND DEFECT FORMATION AT SOLID-SURFACES uri icon

abstract

  • In real time computer simulations of reactive atoms incident on solid surfaces, several interesting fundamental processes have been observed. These include (1) a cascade of inelastic collisions between incident atom and substrate atoms that eventually results in equilibration and adsorption; (2) for sufficiently reactive atoms, and sufficiently high substrate temperatures, an exchange reaction in which the adsorbed atom replaces a substrate atom; and (3) the formation of defects as a result of adsorption or exchange events. 1986.
