Comparison of low-energy β radiation effects in polyethylene and cellulose by molecular dynamics simulations

摘要: Abstract Using molecular dynamics simulations, we have compared the low-energy β radiation effects in high density polyethylene and cellulose. We determined threshold energy for creating defects as a function of incident angle, carbon atom chain, one atoms cellulose chain. Our analysis shows that damage is both cases strongly dependent on initial recoil direction average slightly higher chain than target Additionally performed two sets event simulations sample, with 50 100 eV energy, outcome previously reported results sample.
