Scientific understanding of any kind of radiation effects starts from the primary damage, ie
the defects that are produced right after an initial atomic displacement event initiated by a …

In this Article, I review the development of computer simulation techniques for studying
radiation effects in materials from 1946 until 2018. These developments were often closely …

The focused ion beam (FIB) is a powerful tool for fabrication, modification, and
characterization of materials down to the nanoscale. Starting with the gallium FIB, which was …

We have used a two-temperature nonequilibrium molecular dynamics method for predicting
interfacial thermal resistance across metal-nonmetal interfaces. This method is an extension …

High-energy (up to 80 keV) displacement cascades in hcp-Zr are studied by classical
Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. The statistics of defect production are reported and …

Executive summary One of the consequences of the interaction of high energy particles
(photons, neutrons, ions or electrons) with crystalline materials is the formation of lattice …

Electronic effects have been shown to be important in high-energy radiation damage
processes where a high electronic temperature is expected, yet their effects are not currently …

Molecular dynamics displacement cascade simulations with PKA energies up to 40 keV at
600 K have been performed to investigate the impact of electronic energy losses in α …

Porous materials, such as nanofoams, may react differently to irradiation than compact
targets. This is caused by the influence of the cavities on the evolution of collision cascades …

Ion irradiation of nanoparticles leads to enhanced sputter yields if the nanoparticle size is of
the order of the ion penetration depth. While this feature is reasonably well understood for …
