We find that at all energies Ag atoms are implanted into the substrate and Pd atoms are ejected in the adlayer. The experimental results in the case of Ag/sub 7/ can be understood in taking into account both implantation of Ag atoms and heavy fragmentation. In the case of Ag/sub 19/ the deposition leads at low temperature to non compact structures localized around the impact point. We propose a model in which morphology changes take place between 200 K and 300 K resulting in well separated compact structures formed of Ag and Pd adatoms.atomic clustersionised cluster beam depositionmetal clustersmolecular dynamics methodpalladiumsilver size selected cluster depositionwell characterized surfacesAg nPd100AgAg 7Ag 19thermal energy atom scatteringmolecular dynamics simulationsadlayerheavy fragmentationmorphology20 eV95 eV200 to 300 KPd A6855 (Thin film growth structure and epitaxy)A3640J (Interactions of clusters collisions and reactions)A6185 (Modelling and computer simulation of solid structure)A8115J (Ion plating and other vapour deposition)A68A36A61A81A6A3text::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
