Abstract
The chemical sputtering of deuterated amorphous carbon (a-C:D) surfaces irradiated by 1-50Â eV deuterium atoms at surface temperatures between 300 and 1000Â K was studied using classical molecular dynamics. A quasi-stationary state was reached by cumulative bombardment for each energy and temperature. Results were compared with available experimental data and previous modeling results and the applicability of molecular dynamics for thermally generated processes was discussed. An attempt is made to correct the absence of the thermally stimulated desorption/degassing of hydrogen from the MD simulations, which evolve at the longer time scales.
