Abstract

In the present study molecular dynamics simulations were performed for collisions of nanoclusters with the substrate for determining the mechanism of formation of bound states depending on the cluster size, impact velocity and angle of incidence. A highly efficient parallel code for three-dimensional molecular dynamics was developed.
