Modelling radiation damage in spinel oxides
thesis
posted on 2018-07-24, 09:19 authored by Dnyansingh BacorisenIn this thesis, defect formation by a radiation event in the normal MgAl2O4 was
investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The mechanisms and activation
barriers for point defects to diffuse were determined using temperature accelerated
dynamics (TAD). The role of cation inversion on defect formation and defect
diffusion in spinel-structured oxides was analysed by performing the simulations in
three spinels: the normal MgAl2O4, the half-inverse MgGa2O4 and the fully inverse
MgIn2O4. The methodology employed in this thesis can be utilised for simulations in
other ionic materials. [Continues.]
