Description for The Modelling of Radiation Damage in Metals Using Ehrenfest Dynamics
Paperback. This book presents the results of time-dependent tight-binding simulations of radiation damage. It explores the effects of electronic excitations in collision cascades and ion channeling, and presents a new model. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 319 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHU; PNFS. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 17. Weight in Grams: 492.
Atomistic simulations of metals under irradiation are indispensable for understanding damage processes at time- and length-scales beyond the reach of experiment. Previously, such simulations have largely ignored the effect of electronic excitations on the atomic dynamics, even though energy exchange between atoms and electrons can have significant effects on the extent and nature of radiation damage. This thesis presents the results of time-dependent tight-binding simulations of radiation damage, in which the evolution of a coupled system of energetic classical ions and quantum mechanical electrons is correctly described. The effects of electronic excitations in collision cascades and ion channeling are explored ... Read more
