Abstract The flow properties and substrate deposition rate profile, which are the important parameters in electron beam physical vapor deposition, are investigated computationally in this article. Collimators are used to achieve the desired vapor beam and deposition rate profile in some applications. This increases the difficulty measuring boundary conditions and the size of the liquid metal pool inside the collimators. It is accordingly hard to obtain accurate results from numerical calculations. In this article, two-dimensional direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) codes are executed to quantify the influence of uncertainties of boundary conditions and pool sizes. Then, three-dimensional DSMC simulations are established to simulate cerium and neodymium evaporation with the collimator. Experimental and computational results of substrate deposition rate profile are in excellent agreement at various evaporation rates and substrate heights. The results show that the DSMC method can assist in metal evaporation with a collimator.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
