A review is given of several important defect production and accumulation parameters for
irradiated ceramics. Materials covered in this review include alumina, magnesia, spinel …

A potential function is presented that can be used to model both chemical reactions and
intermolecular interactions in condensed-phase hydrocarbon systems such as liquids …

Molecular dynamics simulations have been used to model the kiloelectronvolt particle
bombardment of organic layers on metal substrates such as occurs in the analytical …

This article discusses the nature of radiation defects in graphite, reviewing past and recent
developments in understanding their structure, interactions and effect on physical properties …

Handbook of Nanophysics: Functional Nanomaterials illustrates the importance of tailoring
nanomaterials to achieve desired functions in applications. Each peer-reviewed chapter …

The recently developed method of nanoindentation is applied to various forms of carbon
materials with different mechanical properties, namely diamond, graphite and fullerite films …

We propose a non-contact surface finishing method for brittle substrates by ion beam
etching and we experimentally demonstrate polishing of (100) single crystal diamond …

There is presently a considerable interest in the formation of amorphous diamond-like
carbon DLC films because of their smoothness, transparency, hardness, low friction and low …

Ion bombardment of carbon materials is known to cause erosion with energies far below the
threshold energy of physical sputtering, as well as at temperatures below the threshold of …

The environment dependent interatomic potential (EDIP) including Ziegler–Biersack–
Littermark (ZBL) interactions for close encounters is applied to cascades starting from a host …
