Sputter Emitter

Neutral particle types may sputter from other particle species.

description
A space to provide a descriptive comment of the emitter.
emitter type

The type of emitter to use, either a sputter emitter or interior sputter emitter.

  • sputter emitter

    This type of emitter should be used when emitting off a simulation particle boundary condition.

    particle boundary condition

    The particle boundary condition to sputter particles from. It must be of the type Boundary Absorb and Save. It can be a particle boundary condition from a different particle species, which will cause incident particles of that species to sputter as the neutral particle species.

    material properties

    This will determine the type of atom that is sputtered. Should be the same as the species to which this emitter is applied.

    sputtered velocity sigma

    The standard deviation of the velocity distribution of emitted particles.

  • interior sputter emitter

    This emitter is for use when emitting off an interior particle boundary condition.

    particle boundary condition

    The particle boundary condition to sputter particles from. It must be of the type Interior Absorb and Save or Cut Cell Absorb and Save. It can be a particle boundary condition from a different particle species, which will cause incident particles of that species to sputter as the neutral particle species.

    material properties

    This will determine the type of atom that is sputtered. Should be the same as the species to which this emitter is applied.

    sputtered velocity sigma

    The standard deviation of the velocity distribution of emitted particles.

    emission axis

    The axis along which particles are to be emitted, 0 for the 0th dimension, 1 for the 1st dimension or 2 for the 2nd dimension.

    emission direction

    Set to either positive or negative, this is the direction in which particles are emitted.

    emission coordinate

    The coordinate at which particles are actually emitted. Effectively this is an offset from the position of the particle boundary condition.
