Abstract

Molecular dynamics simulations of sputtering of copper clusters, which consisted of 13, 27, 39, 75 and 195 Cu atoms on a (0 0 0 1) graphite surface by 100-400 eV Ar and Xe ions have been performed. Some of the results have been published previously [Nucl. Instru. Meth. B 227 (2005) 261 and Nucl. Instru. Meth. B 228 (2005) 41], but are again discussed here together with additional results. Energy and size effects of ion backscattering from and sputtering of isolated surface clusters are discussed.
