Role of electrons in collision cascades in solids. I. Dissipative model
Abstract
In this article, we present a detailed model for the nonadiabatic coupling between ions and electrons in energetic ion-solid interactions over a wide range of energies in concentrated solid-solution fcc alloys of the 3d transition metals Ni, Co, Fe, and Cr. The model is based on general statistical mechanical principles and results in a stochastic modification of the classical nuclei motion which is parameterized by the first-principles calculation of a dissipation function produced by explicit time-dependent electronic evolution. This model provides a full picture of an entire collision process, from the ballistic to the thermal phases of a cascade, giving a detailed description of the energy exchange between ions and electrons till their final thermalization, removing in this way some ad hoc assumptions used in the state-of-the-art atomistic two-temperature models. Here, this work is separated in two papers; in the present Part I, we report on the ab initio methodology used to translate stopping power and electron-phonon interaction into a parameterized dissipation function; Part II, to be published, addresses the nonadiabatic ion dynamics using our modified Langevin dynamics [Tamm et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 185501 (2018)] applying the dissipation functions developed here to specific collision cascade events.
