Abstract: | Molecular dynamics calculations have been performed to simulate the low energy collision (0.2 eV) of a rare gas atom (He, Ar, Xe) with a cluster of 125 argon atoms. Depending on its relative mass to argon, the projectile is either deflected (He) or captured (Ar, Xe) by the argon cluster. We have determined the deflection function of the He projectile that is scattered, and for Xe we have determined wether it stays near the surface of the cluster or migrates inside. These results have been discussed in the light of very simple models. |
