Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Atomic Collisions for Ion Irradiation Experiments
An understanding of the way damage is formed during ion implantation of solids is very important in many research and industrial applications. One of the best ways to study damage formation theoretically is provided by molecular dynamics simulations, in which the movement of atoms is followed by solving numerically the equations of motion. The purpose of work described in this thesis has been t...
متن کاملBrownian dynamics simulations of ion transport through the VDAC.
It is important to gain a physical understanding of ion transport through the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) because this channel provides primary permeation pathways for metabolites and electrolytes between the cytosol and mitochondria. We performed grand canonical Monte Carlo/Brownian dynamics (GCMC/BD) simulations to explore the ion transport properties of human VDAC isoform 1 (hVDAC...
متن کاملTemperature Effect on Mechanical Properties of Top Neck Mollusk Shells Nano-Composite by Molecular Dynamics Simulations and Nano-Indentation Experiments
Discovering the mechanical properties of biological composite structures at the Nano-scale is much interesting today. Top Neck mollusk shells are amongst biomaterials Nano-Composite that their layered structures are composed of organic and inorganic materials. Since the Nano indentation process is known as an efficient method to determine mechanical properties like elastic modulus and hardness ...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of ion transport through carbon nanotubes. I. Influence of geometry, ion specificity, and many-body interactions.
Extensive molecular dynamics simulations of the flow of aqueous NaCl and NaI solutions through carbon nanotubes are presented, evidencing the dependence of diverse transport features on the solute specificity, the nanotube geometry, and the various atomic models employed, including polarizability. The simulated properties are in agreement with published results, indicating that ion translocatio...
متن کاملA molecular dynamics simulation of water transport through C and SiC nanotubes: Application for desalination
In this work the conduction of ion-water solution through two discrete bundles of armchair carbon and silicon carbide nanotubes, as useful membranes for water desalination, is studied. In order that studies on different types of nanotubes be comparable, the chiral vectors of C and Si-C nanotubes are selected as (7,7) and (5,5), respectively, so that a similar volume of fluid is investigated ...
