Numerical Calculations of Ion Scattering in Solids

<p> The motion of energetic charged particles inside
a crystalline solid is strongly dependent upon the orientation
of the ion beam and target. This effect is commonly
known as the "channeling" effect. In this report, the
development of a computer code is presented which simulates
the 3-D ion scatterings experienced by energetic particles
moving in a crystalline solid. A Monte Carlo technique is
incorporated in the code to calculate scattering angles,
range distribution, backscattering distribution and angular
distribution of incident ions. The Thomas-Fermi interatomic
potential is used for binary collision process and the
continuum potential is used for the potentials experienced
by the channeled ions inside crystal lattices. </p> / Thesis / Master of Engineering (MEngr)
