Understanding material responses to energy deposition from energetic charged particles is
important for defect engineering, ion-beam processing, ion-beam analysis and modification …

The interaction of energetic ions with solids results in energy loss to both atomic nuclei and
electrons in the solid. In this article, recent advances in understanding and modeling the …

Ion beams are indispensible for understanding radiation effects in materials, enabling
access to conditions challenging to perform with neutrons. However, ion irradiations can …

Abstract The Born-Oppenheimer approximation is the keystone for molecular dynamics
simulations of radiation damage processes; however, actual materials response involves …

Understanding energy dissipation processes in electronic/atomic subsystems and
subsequent non-equilibrium defect evolution is a long-standing challenge in materials …

Forty years have now passed since Seitz and Koehler published their seminal article in this
series on the displacement of atoms during particle irradiation. 1 At that time little was known …

Development of new materials for current and advanced reactor concepts is hampered by
long lead times and high cost of reactor irradiations coupled with the paucity of test reactors …

Energetic ions have been widely used to evaluate the irradiation tolerance of structural
materials for nuclear power applications and to modify material properties. It is important to …

A common misconception is that the irradiation of solids with energetic electrons and ions
has exclusively detrimental effects on the properties of target materials. In addition to the …
