Nuclear dispersion is an important aspect in the process of slowing down ions by transferring their momentum to the target atoms and in determining path of the ion. This paper concerns the quantitative evaluation of the mechanism at which helium ions lose their energy when penetrate into a solid and the eventual distribution of the helium ion while stopping inside the Gallium Arsenide compound (GaAs). The first order effects of the atoms of the compound such as the electronic excitation of the atom, the lattice damage incurred to it, as well as the production of phonons in Gallium Arsenide due to the helium ions are also taken into account. The main finding is the mechanism of penetration of helium ions in GaAs, which is affected by the energy, the angle of incidence, and penetration density of the helium ions. It is found out that the energy has major impact than the angle of incidence in the interaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
