A combination of first principle molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with a rate equation model (MD-RE approach) is presented to study the trapping and the scattering of rare gas atoms from metal surfaces. The temporal evolution of the atom…

The theory of statistical-mechanical lattice-gas modeling of adsorption is reviewed and shown to be applicable to a range of electrochemical problems dominated by effective, lateral adsorbate--adsorbate interactions. A general strategy for…

We have performed classical and quantum dynamical simulations to calculate dynamical quantities for physical processes of atom - surface scattering, e.g., trapping probability and average energy loss, final angular distribution of a…

Investigating atom-surface interactions is the key to an in-depth understanding of chemical processes at interfaces, which are of central importance in many fields -- from heterogeneous catalysis to corrosion. In this work, we present a…

The transport of sputtered aluminum inside a multi frequency capacitively coupled plasma chamber is simulated by means of a kinetic test multi-particle approach. A novel consistent set of scattering parameters obtained for a modified…

We study the rate of activated motion over multiple barriers, in particular the correlated double-jump of an adatom diffusing on a missing-row reconstructed Platinum (110) surface. We develop a Transition Path Theory, showing that the…

Collisions of atoms and molecules with metal surfaces create electronic excitations in the metal, leading to nonadiabatic energy dissipation, inelastic scattering, and sticking. Mixed quantum-classical molecular dynamics simulation methods,…

Results for elastic atom-atom scattering are obtained as a first practical application of RmatReact, a new code for generating high-accuracy scattering observables from potential energy curves. RmatReact has been created in response to new…

Condensation of a liquid droplet from a supersaturated vapour phase is initiated by a prototypical nucleation event. As such it is challenging to compute its rate from atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. In fact at realistic…

A model is presented for obtaining the step formation energy for metallic islands on (111) surfaces from Monte Carlo simulations. This model is applied to homo (Cu/Cu(111), Ag/Ag(111)) and heteroepitaxy (Ag/Pt(111)) systems. The embedded…

Molecular dynamics simulation is employed to understand the thermodynamic behavior of cuboctahedron (cub) and icosahedron (ico) nanoparticles with 2-20 number of shells (55-28741 atoms). The embedded atom method was used to describe the…

One-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation is used to simulate the capacitively coupled argon plasma for a range of driving frequency from 13.56 MHz to 100 MHz. The argon chemistry set can, selectively, include two metastable levels…

Thin film processing by means of sputter deposition inherently depends on the interaction of energetic particles with a target surface and the subsequent particle transport. The length and time scales of the underlying physical phenomena…

A Monte-carlo (MC) simulation procedure has been developed where the pair bond energies are allowed to take into account the various coordination numbers of surface atoms and the presence of adsorbates. The pair bond energies are calculated…

The average-atom model is applied to study Thomson scattering of x-rays from warm-dense matter with emphasis on scattering by bound electrons. Parameters needed to evaluate the dynamic structure function (chemical potential, average ionic…

Fabrication, handling and disposal of nuclear fuel materials require comprehensive knowledge of their surface morphology and reactivity. Due to unavoidable contact with air components (even at low partial pressures), UN samples contain…

The application of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to the interpretation of Raman scattering spectra is hindered by inability of atomistic simulations to account for the dynamic evolution of electronic polarizability, requiring the use…

The application of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to quasistatic loading is severely limited by the large separation between atomic vibration timescales and experimentally relevant deformation rates. In this work we employ the…

The effect of driving frequency in the range of 13.56 MHz to 73 MHz on electron energy distribution and electron heating modes in a 50 mTorr capacitively coupled argon plasma discharge is studied using 1D-3V particle-in-cell simulations.…

Numerical studies of lattice-gas models are well suited to describe multi-adsorbate systems. One example is the underpotential deposition of Cu on Au(111) in the presence of sulfuric acid. Preliminary results from dynamic Monte Carlo…
