I'm interested in learning to model ta-C and other (carbon) thin films deposited on solid substrates with PVD (FCVA). The modeled films could be up to 100 microns in thickness. Deposited film structure, intrinsic stresses, substrate bonding, electric properties, surfce topology and whynot protein adhesion would be some interesting characteristics to study with the model.

Also the eruption of ions and macromolecules by arc from the cathode could be an interesting modelling topic.

I thought to ask here if someone would have any recommandations on what software and modelling approach would be fruitful for this kind of research.
