Abstract

A model for predicting depth profiles due to energetic particle bombardment based on the RMS roughness of the system and the sputtering yield is proposed. The model is an extension of the macroscopic transport model proposed previously [Tuccitto, N.; Zappala, G.; Vitale, S.; Torrisi, A.; Licciardello, A. J. Phys. Chem. C 2016, 120, 9263-9269]. The model is used to reconstruct the experimental depth profiles of a NiCr heterostructure due to bombardment by C60, SF5, O2, and Ga.
