Trajectories

Abstract

For programs that follow the projectile and the recoils in a target, plots of trajectories give a good impression of what a program is doing and how particles move. The first plots of trajectories were published by Gibson et al. [9.1] with a CD computer program. Additional plots using the same program can be found in [9.2–4]. Yurasova’s group also used a CD computer program for creating trajectories [9.5]. Halides were investigated by Torrens et al. [9.6,7], Fe₃Al by Jackson et al. [9.8] and copper by Tenenbaum and Doan [9.9] with CD programs. Robinson and Oen give plots of the trajectories inside channels in a crystal [9.10]. Some authors show trajectories of projectiles in a wide energy range for normal incidence and in a few cases also for oblique incidence: Shimizu’s group [9.11,12], Karapiperis et al. [9.13,14], Ishitani et al. [9.15] and the author [9.16]. Semichannelling is discussed by Yamamura and Takeuchi [9.17]. Recoil trajectories are studied by Beeler in iron [9.18,19] and in BeO [9.20], by Shimizu in Cu [9.21], by Yamamura and Kitazoe in Au [9.22], by Miyagawa and Miyagawa [9.23], by Ishitani and Shimizu in Cu [9.24], by Cui and coworkers [9.25–27] and by Biersack in Si [9.28]. Andreadis et al. [9.29] and Roush et al. [9.30] show the development of trajectories with different generations. Examples of trajectories in compound targets are given in [9.12], in layered structures in [9.13, 14, 23, 25, 27].
