Plasma Surface Interaction Codes (PSIC)
A Tcl/Tk interface to plot sputtering yields (using gnuplot) for any
monoatomic target material for any incident ion. Its back-end is
a set of FORTRAN (g77, should work for any FORTRAN) subroutines for
Physical Sputtering, Chemical Sputtering and Radiation
Enhanced Sublimation. The subroutines implement semi-empirical
formulae for the various Plasma Surface Interactions.
You can
download
the sources, and use the subroutines in your programs freely since PSIC is
copyrighted under the GNU
General Public License. A tar-gzipped postscript version of the technical
report (IPR/TR-67/2000) which is a installation guide, a user manual and
also explains the various erosion processes in some detail is available for
download here.
Note that this document is dated and the subroutines for PSI in PSIC
has been cleaned and re-engineered and a few new subroutines added).
The new subroutines and new example has been accepted for publication
in Computer Physics Communications and is available for download
here.
Latest Changes
Thanks to Xavier Bonnin for many suggestions that definitely improved
the subroutines
- Cleaned up all the subroutines (physic sputtering, chemical sputtering
and RES).
- Some basic software engineering introduced (like returning 0 when
yields become negative).
- Made the chemical sputtering smoothly transit from low flux to high
flux (parameter C in J. Roth's paper).
