2005) JERK, an event-based Kinetic Monte Carlo model to predict microstructure evolution of materials under irradiation, Philosophical Magazine, 85:4-7, 549-558To link to this article: http://dx.JERK is a Kinetic Monte Carlo model which aims at describing the evolution of materials under irradiation over large time and length scales. The evolution is calculated by collecting only those events which actually modify the objects making up the microstructure (defect clusters, various complexes, dislocations), by sampling their probability of occurrence, deciding in view of the chosen delays whether the events will take place or not within a given time interval. The details of the atomic transport are ignored and the jumps of mobile species are bunched into trajectories, which comply with continuous diffusion laws. After some tuning, the increase in efficiency over a Kinetic Monte Carlo procedure which processes each jump event after another should be noticeable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
