Abstract

This work presents a molecular dynamics simulation method designed to describe the processes of electron and lattice relaxation taking place in typical cascade volumes formed by high-energy implants. The simulation method is based on classical mechanics and includes the motions of electrons and nuclei. The results are in agreement with experiments.
