Journal ArticleDOI
Defect production in collision cascades in elemental semiconductors and fcc metals
Kai Nordlund,Kai Nordlund,Mai Ghaly,Robert S Averback,Maria Jose Caturla,T. Diaz de la Rubia,J. Tarus +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comparative molecular dynamics simulation study of collision cascades in two elemental semiconductors and five fcc metals is performed to elucidate how different material characteristics affect primary defect production during ion irradiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Research opportunities on clusters and cluster-assembled materials—A Department of Energy, Council on Materials Science Panel Report
R. P. Andres,Robert S Averback,W. L. Brown,Louis E. Brus,William A. Goddard,A. Kaldor,S. G. Louie,M. Moscovits,Paul S. Peercy,S. J. Riley,Richard W. Siegel,Frans Spaepen,Y. Wang +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the size-dependent physical and chemical properties of clusters, the methods of synthesis of macroscopic amounts of size-selected clusters with desired properties, and most importantly, the possibility of their controlled assembly into new materials with novel properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of thermal spikes in energetic displacement cascades.
T. Diaz de la Rubia,T. Diaz de la Rubia,T. Diaz de la Rubia,Robert S Averback,Robert S Averback,Robert S Averback,R. Benedek,R. Benedek,R. Benedek,Wayne E. King,Wayne E. King,Wayne E. King +11 more
TL;DR: For cascade energies of 3 and 5 keV in Cu, which are the highest energies (in reduced units) yet treated by fully dynamical simulations, it is found that local melting occurs and persists for several picoseconds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primary radiation damage: A review of current understanding and models
Kai Nordlund,Steven J. Zinkle,Steven J. Zinkle,A. E. Sand,F. Granberg,Robert S Averback,R. E. Stoller,Tomoaki Suzudo,Lorenzo Malerba,Florian Banhart,William J. Weber,William J. Weber,Francois Willaime,Sergei L. Dudarev,David Simeone +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the extensive experimental and computer simulation studies that have been performed over the past several decades on what the nature of the primary damage is, and provide alternatives to the current international standard for quantifying this energetic particle damage, the Norgett-Robinson-Torrens displacements per atom (NRT-dpa) model for metals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal conductance of metal-metal interfaces
TL;DR: In this article, the thermal conductance of interfaces between Al and Cu was measured in the temperature range $78lTl298\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$ using time-domain thermoreflectance.
