Why Model Radiation Damage? • Irradiation with energetic particles leads to atomic displacements, Defects • Material properties largely determined by defect structure • Strength • Ductility • Toughness, • Dimensional Stability Multi-Scale Modeling: Track Evolution from nm to m, fs to yr
Simulation 1: MCNP • Results: • Average reaction, Ed = 404 keV of energy (487 keVpoublished by Stoller) • Damage Rate: 2.28379E-01 DPA s^-1
MD: Fe Displacement Cascade ~ 10keV collision PKA LAMMPS MODEL Model250000 atoms 1. Thermal equilibrium: for 1000 1fs steps . ~14 hours! 2. Internal temperature fixed BC temperature, 1000 1fs steps. 3. Initiate velocity of PKA atom. 4. Equilibrate for 10 ps, ensuring Remaining Defects: Track with multi-scale approach
