A linked-scale coupled model of mass erosion and redistribution in plasma-exposed micro-foam surfaces

Comparative study regarding the sputtering yield of nanocolumnar tungsten surfaces under Ar+ irradiation

“…While these codes already allow to simulate topographies extending beyond 100 nm lateral size, consideration of larger surface inputs is still limited by computational resources. To liberate these constraints, ray-tracing approaches were developed, which enable computationally efficient extrapolation of BCA-based data to simulate even larger morphological structures 42,56,57 .…”
