Ab initio molecular dynamics simulation of low energy radiation responses of α-Al2O3
Abstract In this study, an ab initio molecular dynamics method is employed to investigate the response behavior of α-Al2O3 to low energy irradiation. Different from the previous experiments, our calculations reveal that the displacements of oxygen dominate under electron irradiation and the created...
