The ion-deposited energy formulas and their applications for the interaction of various energetic ions with carbon nanostructures

Abstract

Based on Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of the interaction of energetic noble gas ions with carbon nanostructures, we have derived the ion-deposited energy formulas and their applications for the above interaction. We also have studied the nuclear point mass effects i.e. the well-known mass ratio effects, and the nuclear point charge effects on the ion-deposited energy then the damage regularities. In particular, we, for first time, find a straight line of the penetrating point threshold energies for energetic noble gas ions. Near this straight line, the nuclear point charge effects dominate the ion-deposited energy then the damage regularities.
