Classical-trajectory calculations on Ar+ sputtering of a Si(001) surface using an ab initio potential.

We describe classical-trajectory calculations of sputtering yields for Ar+-ion collisions with a Si(001) surface. The Ar+-Si and short-ranged Si-Si interaction potentials were calculated using the ab initio Hartree-Fock and configuration-interaction methods. The low-energy potential describing the s...
