Abstract

The normal bombardment of copper clusters on a polyethylene surface by 100, 200 and 400 eV argon ions is examined by means of molecular dynamics simulation incorporating a long range many-body covalent binding potential for hydrocarbons and a many-body potential for copper. Sputtering yield and changes in the atomic structure of targets are discussed.
