Molecular dynamics simulations of the response of pre-damaged SrTiO3 and KTaO3 to fast heavy ions

We investigate the energy dissipation and track formation due to ion irradiation in SrTiO3 and KTaO3. We use molecular dynamics simulations combined with the inelastic thermal spike model to simulate 21 MeV Ni ion irradiation in pristine and predamaged samples. The results are validated against expe...
