After successful completion of the course, students are able to...
...describe applications of energetic ion beams in nanofabrication.
...describe models for the characterization of associated phenomena.
...select simulation methods for these phenomena.
...run molecular dynamics simulations and interprete their results.
1. Nanofabrication with ion beams
2. Molecular dynamics
3. Interatomic potentials
4. Mechanical stress
5. Binary collision simulations, coupling with continuum mechanics
6. Multiscale modeling for the simulation of bubble evolution in Si
7. Spontaneous pattern formation by ion bombardment
About half of the course is obtaining hands-on experience with the molecular dynamics simulator LAMMPS.
