Abstract

The application of atomistic computer simulation to problems involving radiation damage and lattice defects in crystalline solids is discussed. The different topics include static defect configurational simulations, molecular dynamics of thermal motion, low energy atomic collision events, high energy atomic displacement cascades, and the thermal annealing of concentrations of defects in a region of lattice. The methods described are evaluated from the point of view of the assumed physical models, and their capabilities and limitations are indicated. Emphasis is on techniques used rather than on results obtained.
