Many-Body Effects in Atomic-Collision Cascades
Abstract
Molecular-dynamics simulations have been used to identify two cooperative atom-ejection mechanisms
which increase sputtering yield. Their effects are analogous to the "thermal spike," "shock wave," and
"reduced binding energy" sputtering mechanisms. They are examples of nonlinear, many-body effects in
cascades which go beyond collisions between randomly moving particles.
