Low-energy ion scattering at surfaces
TL;DR: The field of low-energy ion scattering for surface interactions at metals, alloys, catalysts and semiconductors is reviewed in this article, where the basic principles, classical scattering theory, the effect of shadowing and blocking, and some of the computer simulation programs are briefly described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Basic physics of radiation damage production
TL;DR: The basic physical processes underlying the production of displacement damage in irradiated solids are briefly discussed, including topics from nuclear, atomic, and solid-state physics as mentioned in this paper, and the concepts of elementary cascade theory are presented as a basis for intuitive descriptions of the damage process.

Monte Carlo simulation of two-dimensional implanted dopant distributions at mask edges
TL;DR: Two-dimensional implanted dopant distributions at mask edges are studied using the Monte Carlo code IMSIL in this paper, and the simulation results show that the penetration below the mask is larger than expected and that a Gaussian function is inappropriate to describe the lateral distribution function.

The binary collision approximation: Background and introduction
TL;DR: The binary collision approximation (BCA) has been used in computer simulations of the interactions of energetic atoms with solid targets, as well as being the basis of most analytical theory in this area as discussed by the authors.

Atomic collisions in solids
TL;DR: The concept of treating the penetration of energetic ions through solids in the context of the physics of binary atomic collisions requires some initial consideration as mentioned in this paper, and the approach then is to apply our knowledge of single collision atomic processes to the anticipated results of a sequence of binary processes.

Atomic Distortion and the Combining Rule for Repulsive Potentials
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the exponential repulsion between atoms, molecules, and ions with closed-shell structure arising from the Pauli exclusion principle in the light of a distortion model and showed that the repulsion energy arises mainly from the distortion of the two atoms, each of which is constrained by the presence of the other to terminate at an intermediate surface.
