Atomistic Simulations of Diamond: Implantation, Annealing, Deformation and Relaxation

This thesis uses atomistic computer simulations to investigate diamond, the hardest material in the world. The computer models range from nano-sized diamonds found in ancient meteorites to diamond nanopillars that are not brittle and diamond surfaces in semiconductors. The thesis shows that computat...
