High-speed Monte Carlo calculations of crystal blocking dips

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento D

Summary

A new method for the calculation of blocking dips in single-crystals is described. It makes use of the continuum model to generate the distribution of initial transverse energies and of a Monte Carlo sampling for the exit angular distribution of ions emitted with a given transverse energy. The results are very similar to traditional Monte Carlo simulations and are obtained with a factor of 100 smaller CPU time consumption. Compensating shoulders are absent, or appear insuficient if use is made of the half-way-plane model. This suggests that correlated thermal vibrations might be important in blocking phenomena.

Riassunto

Si descrive un nuovo metodo per il calcolo di figure di blocking in monocristalli. Esso fa uso del modello continuo per generare la distribuzione delle energie trasverse iniziali, e di un campionamento di Monte Carlo per la distribuzione angolare in uscita di ioni emessi con energia trasversa assegnata. I risultati sono molto simili a quelli ottenuti con simulazioni di Monte Carlo tradizionali, ma richiedono tempi di calcolo 100 volte inferiori. Le spalle compensatrici mancano, o appaiono insufficienti se si fa uso del modello a mezzo piano. Ciò suggerisce che le correlazioni fra vibrazioni termiche potrebbero essere importanti nei fenomeni di blocking.

Резюме

Описывается новый метод для вычисления кривой эффекта блокировки в монокристаллах. Используется непрерывная модель для получения распределения начальных пореречных энергий и выборки Монте Карло для утлового распределения на выходе ионов, испущенных с заданной поперечной энергией. Полученные результаты очень похожи на результы обычного моделирования по методу Монте Карло, но затраченное время в 100 раз меньше. Компенсация выс-тупов отсутствует или оказывается недостаточной, если используется моделз ≪плос-кости, лежащей на полпути≫. Предполагается, что коррелированные тепловые колебания могут выть существенными в эффекте блокировки.
