ABSTRACTMolecular dynamics (MD) studies are carried out to investigate the electron irradiation damages in carbon nanomaterials. The interaction between an incident electron and a carbon atom is modeled based on the Monte Carlo method using the elastic scattering cross section. The electron irradiation damages in graphen, graphite, single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) and carbon nanopeapod are demonstrated. The cross-links among the nanostructures caused by the knock-on effect are observed as typical damages. The dependence of the damages on the electron primary energy is also shown for the SWNT.

AbstractMaximum cross-section technique is used for solving problems of radiation transport by the Monte Carlo method to optimize the particles' free-path length modeling in inhomogeneous media. A probabilistic proof of a variation of this technique is proposed in the article.

ABSTRACTWe are in the process of studying strained-layer growth of two-dimensional Lennard-Jones lattices. To do so, we have developed three techniques, based on the Monte Carlo method and molecular dynamics, of simulating atomistic crystal growth from the vapor phase. The Monte Carlo method efficiently simulates the effects of long time-scale processes on the growth of strained-layer systems, but omits the transient dynamics of particle adsorption. The second technique, using molecular dynamics, gives results suggesting that epitaxial growth of strained-layer systems can occur on the picosecond timescales. However, this technique cannot capture the influence of the long time-scale processes on the growth process. In view of the shortcomings of the previous two techniques, A hybrid technique incorporating both the Monte Carlo method and molecular dynamics, has been developed. In principle, this technique models the transient dynamics of adsorption as well as the long term evolution of the system. This technique, however, is limited by artifacts that may only be eliminated by use of unwarrented amounts of supercomputer time.

ABSTRACTA molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was performed to study the interaction volume of electron beam in carbon nanomaterials. The interaction between incident electron and carbon atom in the target materials during electron irradiation is introduced by the relativistic binary collision theory. The motion of each atom in the material under electron irradiation is calculated with the MD simulation. The primary energy dependence of the interaction volume in the carbon nanotube and the multi-layered graphene are studied. The secondary damages caused by the knock-on atoms are also discussed.

AbstractA contact sapphire neurosurgical probe for the removal of brain tumors with the possibility of intraoperative exogenous fluorescence diagnostics and laser coagulation of adjacent blood vessels has been developed. The geometry of the sapphire neuroprobe has been optimized to increase the sensitivity of fluorescence diagnostics. For this purpose, a series of computational experiments have been performed using the Monte Carlo method. The technique for growing a sapphire shaped crystal with a variable cross section has been developed. Using this technique, a pilot prototype of the sapphire neuroprobe has been manufactured. The sample has been approbated experimentally.

The design scheme of a radially convergent 30-, 70-, or 100-μs e-beam-pumped laser with 9 or 18 1 excited volume is described. Amplitude, temporal, and spectral characteristics of the laser output, as well as laser thresholds in (Ar–Xe, He–Ar–Xe, He–Ne–Ar, and He– Ne–Ar–H2) gas mixtures have been investigated. The distribution of the specific deposited energy over the laser chamber cross section has been calculated by the Monte Carlo method. The small signal gain and unsaturable loss values of the active medium were measured for a Penning plasma Ne laser at λ = 0.585 μm.
