A computational study of damage formation in extreme ultraviolet (XUV)- irradiated ruthenium thin films by means of combining the Monte Carlo approach with the two temperature model. The model predicts that the damage formation is most affected by ultrafast heating of the lattice by hot electrons and is not very sensitive to the initial stage of the material excitation. Numerical parameters of the model were analyzed, as well as different approximations for the thermal parameters. This shows importance of the temperature dependence of the electron thermal conductivity and the electron–phonon coupling factor. Our analysis reveals that the details of photoabsorption and ultrafast non-equilibrium electron kinetics play only a minor role in the XUV irradiation regime.
