Simulations of graphite boronization: A molecular dynamics study of amorphization resulting from bombardment
The molecular dynamics code LAMMPS was used to simulate the bombardment of a graphite structure by atomic boron with impact energies ranging from 50–250 eV. The transient structural evolution, penetration depth, and amorphous layer thickness were analyzed. Simulations show that larger impact energie...
