摘要
Damaging carbon nanotube upon energetic irradiation has been modeled with molecular-dynamics simulations. The angular dependence of the threshold energy of the primary knock-on atom (PKA) escaping from the tube is investigated in the initial PKA directions spanning half space. The average value of the threshold energy is calculated to be 19.3 eV. The simulations provided a detailed picture of the damaging processes, in which four mechanisms were revealed. The interactions between carbon atoms are described with the Tersoff mode modified to match a screened Coulomb potential at short range. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
