Presented is the molecular dynamics simulation of electrically neutral small argon clusters impact on the surface of Poly(Ether Ether Ketone) (PEEK), a promising orthopedic implant material. The results of the simulation are compared with the data obtained in the experiments on the treatment of the PEEK surface by Accelerated Neutral Atom Beams (ANAB). The comparison results allow the conclusion that the clusters are a part of ANAB. This conclusion is in complete agreement with the results of previous molecular dynamics analysis of the ANAB generation process.
