| contents | We used a multiscale model to study the damage caused by swift heavy ions in GaN. The model combines Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations to analyze the material response to the excitation initiated by a projectile. We found that the most appropriate simulation approach couples the dynamical screening of charges of target atoms during the scattering of fast electrons with the Tersoff-Brenner interatomic potential describing atomic dynamics in the excited target. The simulations demonstrate the formation of damaged ion tracks with an amorphous core, containing voids filled with nitrogen. The core is surrounded by a damaged crystalline region containing edge dislocations, consistent with experimental observations. |
