MONTE CARLO STUDIES OF RADIATION DAMAGE INDUCED BY FUSION:DYNAMIC SIMULATION OF SPUTTERING

In this paper, the sputtering caused by fusion of 4He particles in the first wall materials is investigated by using the dynamic Monte Carlo simulation, which is based on the binary collision approximation. The dependences of sputtering yields on the incident energy and angle, as well as the comparisons of results calculated using the Monte Carlo methed with results from experiments, are discussed. Energy spectrum and angular distributions of sputtered species, the depth of origin of the sputtered particles as well as range distributions of incident ions are given. From a comparison between the related experimental data and the calculated results with static and dynamic simulation it has been found that a better agreement is obtained for dynamic simulation.
