Comparison of theoretical and empirical interatomic potentials
D.J. O'Connor,J.P. Biersack +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, many popular theoretical potentials are compared to a large range of experimental potentials to gauge the accuracy of the various theoretical models, and it is found that the Universal Potential of Biersack and Ziegler agrees best with the available measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empirical formulae for energy loss straggling of ions in matter
TL;DR: A detailed survey of the currently available data for the energy loss straggling of hydrogen, helium and heavy ions in matter has been undertaken in this article, where an empirical formula based on Chu's calculation has been obtained for the Energy Loss Straggling (ELS) of hydrogen ions.
BookDOI
Surface analysis methods in materials science
TL;DR: In this article, UHV-based techniques for surface analysis are described. And a detailed overview of the applications and applications of these techniques can be found in Section 5.1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Melting of al surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal disordering of Al(110 and Al(111) surfaces was studied up to temperatures of 0.5 and 1.2 K below the bulk melting point Tm, respectively.
