Standard of Molecular Dynamics Modeling and Simulation of Relaxation in Dense Media

Abstract

Abstract. Approaches to simulation and modeling of relaxation in dense media are developed which would be universal for some classes of relaxation processes. Three examples of relaxation in strongly dissimilar multi-scale systems are considered: equilibration of electrons and ions in a nonisothermal nonideal plasma, lifetime and nucleation of crystals at superheating, void formation in a crystal under negative pressures.
