Computer Modelling of Structural Transformations of Nanopores in Fcc Metals

The book focuses on the effects of shock waves on vacancies and their clusters in fcc crystals. It is shown that high-speed cooperative atomic displacements represent a powerful tool for the purposeful modification of defect structures in crystalline bodies. The results are important for radiation material science, nano-engineering, the study of shock wave effects and the ultrasonic treatment of materials.
