Abstract
We have studied the trapping probability of hyperthermal particles impacted
on the surface by molecular dynamics simulations. The angle dependence of
the trapping probability, the structural factor of the impacted surface and
the sputtering yields have been calculated. We find thai, for the normal i
ncidence, the trapping probability decreases with the incident energy, whil
e for 45 degrees incidence, the trapping probability shows a non-monotonic
behavior in agreement with a recent experiment.
