Abstract

The interaction of small energetic clusters of Cu atoms with Cu surfaces has been investigated by molecular dynamics computer simulations. The simulations are fully dynamical and three dimensional; they employ embedded atom method potentials. The simulations described here are an extension of our past work on cluster solid interactions [1]. In this work, the effects of the angle of incidence, energy, size and temperature of the cluster are examined. In addition, soft landings of Cu clusters on Cu are simulated.
