Xsection 4.8 registration#

You can freely download NASCAM after filling the registration form (see the link at the bottom of this page). User can develop its own plugin and add it to the new graphical user interface. In addition, Porosity, Optics, Electrics and Colors are plugins developed by our team to evaluate the physical properties of the films simulated by NASCAM. Several examples are provided: Diffusion limited aggregation, fractal growth, Otswald ripening, multilayer deposition, Glancing Angle Deposition (GLAD). Because kMC does not take into account the vibrational movement of atoms it is possible to use kMC to model the evolution of a system for longer periods of time, unlike the Molecular Dynamics simulation which can only be used to simulate the dynamics of a system for a short period of time, about 10-9s. Depending on the number of atoms in the system, along with some other parameters such as temperature and atomic properties, the physical time might be hundreds to thousands of seconds. The goal of the kinetic Monte Carlo method is to mimic real experiments through simulations. kMC can be used for modeling different processes at the surface, such as the growth of films during deposition or the development of films post deposit, at the atomic scale. It is based on the kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) method.

Xsection 4.8 code#

This code is developed to simulate the time evolution of atoms deposited on a substrate. 2016-.: CORNET EU funding (VICIA project), Feder (H2020) and lab financial resources.2013-2015: Computer Aided Process Refinement for Intelligent Coatings (CAPRICE), Walloon region/Cornet project n° 1217777,.2011-2013: Pôle d'Attraction Inter-universitaire (IAP), Belgium.This code is developed at Namur University, Belgium, and numerous people are or have been involved (by alphabetical order): B. See the link at the bottom to freely download it. New examples: SEM Xsection substrate, Incoherent light effect, Moving substrate. It also includes- New or improved plugins: Electrical, Colors, Make_substrate, Output_browser, Scan_to_Nascam, Slices. As a result, user interface is better, and the code is faster by at least one order of magnitude. This version includes improvements and optimizations of the user GUI, depositon and diffusion algorithms and coding. Improved plugins (require NASCAM 4.8.X and later) Combination of Me and Me+, and R and R+, and Ar+ is possible Simulation of metal and reactive depositionįive deposition fluxes per layer: two metallics, two reactives and one neutral. Plugins (compatible with NASCAM 4.6.x only) Rotating and tilting substrate while deposition Two deposition fluxes per layer: metal and inert gazĮnergy and momentum transfer from incident fluxes to the substrate or a growing film Surface diffusion based on fixed list of thermally activated events Two types of structure: cubic and hexagonal Département éducation et technologie (DET).Forum Universitaire de Coopération Internationale
