Abstract

Surface and near-surface processes have been studied during low energy Xe ion bombardment of Si (001) and fcc surfaces using molecular dynamics simulations. Defect production is enhanced near the surface of smooth Si (001) surfaces with respect to the bulk in the energy range 20–150 eV, but is not confined exclusively to the surface layer. The extent and qualitative nature of bombardment-induced dissociation of small fcc islands on an otherwise smooth fcc (001) surface is found to depend strongly on island cohesive energy.
