Abstract
Effects of the interaction of fast particles with solids and surfaces form the general subject of this Advanced Study Institute. The present lecture specifically addresses the phenomena occurring under what is called low-energy ion bombardment, i.e. where nuclear stopping dominates more or less over electronic stopping. In this regime, the slowing down of the bombarding ion and its range distribution will be studied. Furthermore, the effects on the irradiated target, in particular the formation of a collision cascade and the sputtering of the target, will be analyzed. It is hereby attempted to give an introduction to the field, stressing the relevant concepts and outlining the analytical and computational tools available. Introductory and review articles covering in greater detail several aspects of the topics addressed here are available [1–3]. The present lecture attempts to describe both analytical and simulational approaches, in order to allow for a fair comparison of the virtues and drawbacks of the respective methods.
