Abstract
By using classical molecular dynamics technique we have simulated the effec ts of 5 keV Xe atoms impinging on the strained Ge(1 0 0) 2 x 1 surface. We found that large adatom islands are formed on top of the amorphous zones cr eated by the cascades. We also found that lattice atoms around the molten z one move radially inwards and thus cause strain relief in the sample. (C) 2 000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
