Molecular dynamics simulation of displacement cascades in cubic silicon carbide

We use molecular dynamics (MD) methods to study collision cascades in cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC), which is a candidate for various applications in nuclear industries. One Tersoff potential, which can reproduce the thermal and elastic properties of 3C-SiC, was firstly connected with ZBL potential...
