Simulations of plasticity in diamond nanoparticles showing ultrahigh strength

GG Vidable, RI Gonzalez, FJ Valencia, N Amigo… - Diamond and Related …, 2022 - Elsevier
We use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to deform single crystal spherical carbon
nanoparticles (NP), 4–45 nm diameter, with a hard, flat indenter, compressing along the …

Model of ramp compression of diamond from ab initio simulations

F González-Cataldo, BK Godwal, K Driver, R Jeanloz… - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
Ramp compression experiments characterize high-pressure states of matter at temperatures
well below those present in shock compression. However, because temperature is typically …
