A researcher who coauthored molecular dynamics simulations of radiation damage in zirconolite. The calculation followed the collision cascade produced by an energetic recoil nucleus after alpha decay. It distinguished a strongly disordered central region from isolated point defects farther away, helping connect a single decay event with the structural damage relevant to a nuclear-waste material.[ref]
Molecular dynamics simulation of the α-recoil nucleus displacement cascade in zirconolite by L. Veiller and others. Abstract: empirical potentials, displacement cascades and core-versus-isolated-defect structure
