Abstract Beryllium-boron (BeB) thin films are important target materials in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments. In this work, molecular dynamics simulations combined with deep learning methods were employed to investigate the deposition behavior and structural evolution of BeB films. The effects of incident angle, incident energy and substrate temperature on the film growth process were systematically studied. A deep learning approach was used to develop interaction potentials based on Be and B elements and the known BeB crystalline phases, enabling an accurate description of cluster growth during deposition. The simulation results indicate that appropriate control of the incident parameters and substrate temperature can significantly improve the surface quality of the films. These findings may offer preliminary insights into the optimization of experimental conditions for the fabrication of high-quality BeB thin films.

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.
