Hot Spot Heating from Impurities and Vacancies in a Crystalline Solid Under Rapid Compression
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
The role of impurity atoms and vacancy defects in the heating of hot spots in a 2D, fcc, monatomic lattice, subjected to rapid, 1D compression, has been studied by means of molecular dynamics. The interaction potential of the impurity atoms, their mass, and size were allowed to differ from those of the atoms in the host lattice. Several configurations of impurity and vacancy clusters were examined. The mechanisms of heating observed here were similar to those found earlier in a bcc lattice with vacancy defects but without impurities.
