Diffusion bonding of Cu atoms with molecular dynamics simulations

Diffusion bonding of copper disks is an important step during the assembly of accelerating structures -the main components of power radio-frequency linear accelerators-. During the diffusion bonding copper disks are subjected to pressure at high temperatures. Finding the optimal combination of press...
