Energy transfer during resonant neutralization of hyperthermal protons at an aluminum surface studied with time-dependent density functional theory — •Lukas Deuchler and Eckhard Pehlke — Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel
Knowledge about the charge and energy transfer between an ion and a surface is crucial for the description of the plasma-surface interaction. In the present work, we report results from TDDFT based Ehrenfest molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for energy and charge transfer for a proton (H+) with initial kinetic energy 2 eV−50 eV incident normally on an Al(111) surface [1]. Simulations have been performed with the Octopus code [2]. The Al-surface is represented by an Al-cluster.
As pointed out by Winter [3], energy and angle shifts observed in the energy distribution of the scattered projectile should provide a means to experimentally estimate the neutralization distance. In this poster, we present the difference in initial kinetic energy between an H+ and an H0 projectile which is required to yield identical exit velocities of the H after neutralization. Notably, this difference changes sign within the studied range of kinetic energies.
