Effects of electron–phonon coupling on damage accumulation in molecular dynamics simulations of irradiated nickel

The role of the electronic system in high energy displacement cascades is explored. The energy exchange between the electronic and the atomic subsystem is described by the electron–phonon coupling. The electronic effects on the damage accumulation due to 100 keV Ni ion cascades in nickel, a prototyp...
