Atomistic Modelling of Radiation Damage in Zircon

Trachenko K., Dove M.T., Salje E.K.H., University of Cambridge, UK

We report the results of simulation of radiation damage in zircon structure using molecular dynamics technique. We detect, quantify and visualise the phases of damage production process, including ballistic and thermal spike phase. The simulation [...]

Simulation of Two-level Tunneling States and Floppy Modes in Silica Glass

Trachenko K., Dove M.T., Heine V., University of Cambridge, UK

We present the results of a computational study of the low-energy dynamics of silica glass. Molecular dynamics simulation results show that parts of the glass structure can undergo large cooperative reorientations of SiO4 tetrahedra. These [...]
