Since a few breakthroughs in the fundamental understanding of the effects of swift heavy
ions (SHIs) decelerating in the electronic stopping regime in the matter have been achieved …

The authors present a concurrent Monte Carlo (MC)–molecular dynamics (MD) approach to
modeling matter response to excitation of its electronic system at nanometric scales. The two …

This is the user manual for the hybrid code XTANT-3, simulating intense femtosecond X-ray
irradiation of matter. The code combines a few models into one with feedbacks: transport …

This paper describes the effects of electronic nonequilibrium in a simulation of ultrafast laser
irradiation of materials. The simulation scheme based on tight-binding molecular dynamics …

We describe the formation of swift heavy ion tracks in polyethylene (PE) by combining the
Monte Carlo code TREKIS, which models electronic excitation in nanometric proximity of the …

Although polymers are widely used in laser-irradiation research, their microscopic response
to high-intensity ultrafast XUV and X-ray irradiation is still largely unknown. Here, we …

This contribution is a brief introduction to nonthermal effects related to modifications of the
interatomic potential upon ultrafast excitation of the electronic system of solids, primarily …

Ultrafast laser radiation or beams of fast charged particles primarily excite the electronic
system of a solid driving the target transiently out of thermal equilibrium. Apart from the …

This document is specifically on the code XTANT-3 2 [1–3] and its features, many of which
are unique to this code. Note that XTANT-3 is a separate development from XTANT+[4], the …

We present a model of non-ionizing scattering of electrons on atomic ensemble in matter,
applicable in a wide electron energy range from~ eV up to relativistic ones. The approach …
