Synergistic effects of nuclear and electronic energy loss in KTaO3 under ion irradiation

Synergistic effects of nuclear and electronic energy loss in KTaO3 under ion irradiation

We use the inelastic thermal spike model for insulators and molecular dynamic simulations to investigate the effects of pre-existing damage on the energy dissipation and structural alterations in KTaO3 under irradiation with 21 MeV Ni ions. Our results reveal a synergy between the pre-existing defec...
