Predicting Kinetic Electron Emission in Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Sputtering†
We present a molecular dynamics (MD) based computer simulation model for particle bombardment of metal surfaces. In addition to the description of the atomic collision cascade initiated by the particle impact, our model incorporates the electronic degree of freedom of the target and therefore is capable of simultaneously predicting secondary ion formation in sputtering as well as ion-bombardmen...
متن کاملGlassy dynamics in the asymmetrically constrained kinetic Ising chain.
We study the dynamics of the East model, comprising a chain of uncoupled spins in a downward-pointing field. Glassy effects arise at low temperatures T from the kinetic constraint that spins can only flip if their left neighbor is up. We give details of our previous solution of the nonequilibrium coarsening dynamics after a quench to low T [Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 3238 (1999)], including the anoma...
متن کاملToward quantitative interpretation of methyl side-chain dynamics from NMR by molecular dynamics simulations.
Advances in molecular dynamics (MD) force fields1-3 have recently allowed the nearly quantitative interpretation of protein backbone dynamics as measured by NMR spin relaxation4,5 and residual dipolar couplings.6 These improvements were solely due to modification of the backbone æ,ψ dihedral angle potential, as implemented in the AMBER99SB2 and CHARMM22/CMAP1 force fields. Amino acid side-chain...
متن کاملFormation of plasmoid chains in magnetic reconnection.
A detailed numerical study of magnetic reconnection in resistive MHD for very large, previously inaccessible, Lundquist numbers (10(4) <or= S <or= 10(8)) is reported. Large-aspect-ratio Sweet-Parker current sheets are shown to be unstable to super-Alfvénically fast formation of plasmoid (magnetic-island) chains. The plasmoid number scales as S(3/8) and the instability growth rate in the linear ...
متن کاملComparison of kinetic Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations of diffusion in a model glass former.
We present results from kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations of diffusion in a model glass former. We find that the diffusion constants obtained from KMC simulations have Arrhenius temperature dependence, while the correct behavior, obtained from molecular dynamics simulations, can be super-Arrhenius. We conclude that the discrepancy is due to undersampling of higher-lying local minima in the ...
