Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Recoil Nucleus Displacement Cascade in Zircon
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
The results of molecular simulations of a-recoil nucleus displacement cascades in zircon (ZrSiO4) are presented. The local temperature and pressure are found to increase dramatically during the cascade. The structure of the cascade tracks is amorphous. Its shape has been analyzed in terms of disordered and distorted cations. SiO2 nanophase are found to exist in the tracks consistently with what is observed in the experiments.
