Abstract

Molecular dynamics simulations, utilizing the Tersoff many-body potential, were used to investigate the effects of 10 eV Si atom bombardment of a (001)2×1 terminated Si lattice. The irradiation events were initiated at an array of points in the primitive surface unit cell. Each event was followed to determine kinetic energy redistribution in the lattice as a function of time, projectile and lattice atom trajectories, and the nature, number, and depth of residual defects. Dimer breaking, epitaxial growth, position exchange, and the formation of residual hexagonal and split interstitials were observed. There were no residual vacancies. Impact points leading to each of the above results clustered in distinctly different regions of the surface unit cell. Bulk interstitials were annealed out over time scales corresponding to monolayer deposition during Si MBE.
