Enabling attractive-repulsive potentials in binary-collision-approximation monte-carlo codes for ion-surface interactions

Binary Collision Approximation (BCA) codes for ion-material interactions, such as SRIM, Tridyn, F-TRIDYN, and SDtrimSP, have historically been limited to screened Coulomb potentials even at low energies due to the difficulty in numerically solving the Distance of Closest Approach (DOCA) problem for...
