Abstract
The transfer of energy from bombarding \({{{\text{K}}}^{ + }}\) and \({\text{A}}{{{\text{r}}}^{ + }}\)ions ( = 10–100 eV) to vanadium atoms is studied via molecular dynamics using the Vs potential. The threshold energy of vanadium sputtering is determined, and a numerical way of determining the thresholds of sputtering for solids is proposed.
