Boron is an element that has ability to build strong and highly directional bonds with boron itself. As a result, boron atoms form diverse structural motifs, ultimately can yield distinct nano structures, such as planar, ...

Parallel molecular dynamics simulation study of the ion-surface collision system is reported. A sequential molecular dynamics simulation program is converted into a parallel code utilizing the concept of parallel virtual ...

An Ar+-Ni(1 0 0) collision system at 1 keV impact energy was investigated by using realistic isoenergetic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The sputtering process upon Ar+ ion impact and damage to the Ni(1 0 0) surface ...
