Atomistic simulations are a primary means of understanding the damage done to metallic
materials by high energy particulate radiation. In many situations the electrons in a target …

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 …

The selection and design of materials that will withstand the extreme conditions of a fusion
power plant has been described as one of the greatest materials science challenges in …

Recent experiments on in situ high-energy self-ion irradiation of tungsten (W) show the
occurrence of unusual cascade damage effects resulting from single-ion impacts, shedding …

Understanding and predicting a material's performance in response to high-energy radiation
damage, as well as designing future materials to be used in intense radiation environments …

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 …

While covalently bonded materials such as carbon are well known to be eroded by chemical
sputtering when exposed to plasmas or low-energy ion irradiation, pure metals have been …

We have investigated the effect of the choice of kinetic energy threshold T c for electronic
stopping (S e) in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of collision cascades. We find that …

Using the two-temperature (2T-MD) model in molecular dynamics simulations, we
investigate the condition of switching the electronic stopping term off when the electron …

As a step in the process of assessing the reliability of interatomic potentials for iron, we
compare experimental measurements of ion beam mixing with values obtained from …
