We have used an n‐body collision computer simulation model with a Gibson #2 potential to examine various ways in which the lattice nature of the slowing down material influences the motion of a medium‐energy copper atom. For normal incidence upon a (110) surface, we found that the lattice has a significant effect upon the scattering angle when a 10‐keV copper atom strikes an atom of a copper lattice. The channel area, which comprises approximately 40% of the representative area in this orientation, is quite insensitive to the copper atom's energy above 1 keV. Total ranges are significantly longer than those reported by Robinson and Oen from calculations based upon a binary collision model. Below 1 keV, total ranges closely approximate the E32 law reported by Kornelsen et al. Above 1 keV dE/dx=A−B/E appears to describe the motion at all positions in the channel if the values of A and B are specified for the initial point at which the atom enters the channel. This behavior above 1 keV is clearly nonphysical...
