Hybrid Plasma/Molecular-Dynamics Approach for Efficient XFEL Radiation Damage Simulations

X-ray free-electron laser pulses initiate a complex series of changes to the electronic and nuclear structure of matter on femtosecond timescales. These damage processes include widespread ionization, the formation of a quasi-plasma state and the ultimate explosion of the sample due to Coulomb force...
