Abstract
Initially an analogue computer and subsequently a hybrid computer were used to simulate the trajectories of colliding atoms acting under a central Born-Mayer interatomic potential. Studies of the binary elastic interaction between a single Ar atom and an Au atom and the multiple collision between an Ar atom and two neighbouring Au atoms were undertaken and the relationships between energy retained by the scattered atom and scattering angle were deduced for various incidence conditions of initial energy, impact parameter and Born-Mayer constants. The results are shown to agree well with digital simulation studies and several new features of the interaction process are explored.
