A recently developed method of nanoclusters growth in a pulsed plasma is studied by means of molecular dynamics. A model that allows one to consider high-energy charged particles in classical molecular dynamics is suggested, and applied for studies of single impact events in nanoclusters growth. In particular, we provide a comparative analysis of the well-studied inert gas aggregation method and the growth from ions in a plasma. The importance to consider of the angular distribution of incoming ions in the simulations of the nanocluster growth is underlined. A detailed study of the energy transfer from the incoming ions to a nanocluster, as well as the diffusion of incoming ions on the cluster surface, is carried out. Our results are important for understanding and control of the nanocluster growth process.
