The present review provides an overview of the basic theory of sputtering with recent
models, focusing in particular on sputtered atom energy distribution functions. Molecular …

We perform molecular dynamics simulations of the nanoindentation on VN (001) films with a
spherical indenter to elucidate the initial plastic deformation and the formation mechanisms …

We investigated with molecular dynamics simulation the mechanical responses of VN (0 0 1)
thin films subjected to indentation with a diamond columnar indenter. We calculated the …

Three-dimensional molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to investigate the
crack growth in nanoscale multilayer Ti/TiN. The interatomic bonds were characterized using …

We optimize the second nearest-neighbor modified embedded atom method (2NN MEAM)
potential for Ti–N system based on single-element potential of Ti and N. The potential …

This paper presents an overview of studies dedicated to the atomic-discrete modeling of the
growth process of film coatings that comprise mononitrides of transition and post-transition …

Abstract Substituting Al for Ti in TiN (001), TiN (011), and N-and Ti-terminated TiN (111)
surfaces has significant effects on adatom surface energetics which vary strongly with the …

In this work, we study homoepitaxial growth of Nickel on low-index (001),(110) and (111) Ni
surfaces by means of molecular dynamics simulations based on the embedded atom …

In this work, to investigate the physical vapor deposition (PVD)-deposited Ti–TiN multilayer
coating on the FeCrNi (Fe 78.4%-Cr 15.17%-Ni 6.43%) substrate, made of GTD 450 …

Twin boundaries (TBs) have been observed in and introduced into nonmetallic materials in
recent years, which brought new concepts for the design of new structural materials …
