Animation archive

There are seven animations linked on this page. Five animations are from the work of Zbigniew Postawa and shows the effect of C₆₀ bombardment of Ag. Two are from Arnaud Delcorte's work of Ar sputtering of polystyrene on Ag. They exhibit high and low action events. Enjoy!

Polystyrene/Ag - High and Low Action

The two trajectories presented below exhibit the diversity of sputtering events. These trajectories come from the work of Arnaud Delcorte (Ref 198 and 206 below) of sputtering of polystyrene tetramers on a metal surface. Below is Figure 2 of Ref 206. The trajectories have been categorized according to ejection yield of molecules and action in the Ag substrate.

Classic Sputtering Animations, aka, The Flicks

The staff at the Faculty Multimedia Center at Penn State have converted our sputtering animations to streaming video that can be viewed on a PC or MAC (sorry no UNIX) with Quicktime. Each animation has been subdivided into segments. Each segment has been made into a high resolution copy appropriate for LAN access. In addition, there is a copy of each segment for DOWNLOAD that also can be used with Quicktime.
