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.
