We prove the existence of central configurations of the2k+2p+2l-body problems with Newtonian potentials inR3. In such configuration,2kmasses are symmetrically located on thez-axis,2pmasses are symmetrically located on they-axis, and2lmasses are symmetrically located on thex-axis, respectively; the masses symmetrically about the origin are equal.

We show the existence of spatial central configurations for theN+2p+1-body problems. In theN+2p+1-body problems,Nbodies are at the vertices of a regularN-gonT;2pbodies are symmetric with respect to the center ofT, and located on the straight line which is perpendicular to the regularN-gonTand passes through the center ofT; theN+2p+1th is located at the the center ofT. The masses located on the vertices of the regularN-gon are assumed to be equal; the masses located on the same line and symmetric with respect to the center ofTare equal.

We study the configuration formed by two squares in two parallel layers separated by a distance. We picture the two layers horizontally with thez-axis passing through the centers of the two squares. The masses located on the vertices of each square are equal, but we do not assume that the masses of the top square are equal to the masses of the bottom square. We prove that the above configuration of two squares forms a central configuration if and only if the twist angle is equal tokπ/2or (π/4+kπ/2)(k=1,2,3,4).

We study the relationship between the masses and the geometric properties of central configurations. We prove that, in the planar four-body problem, a convex central configuration is symmetric with respect to one diagonal if and only if the masses of the two particles on the other diagonal are equal. If these two masses are unequal, then the less massive one is closer to the former diagonal. Finally, we extend these results to the case of non-planar central configurations of five particles.

The inverse problem of central configuration of the trapezoidal 5-body problems is investigated. In this 5-body setup, one of the masses is chosen to be stationary at the center of mass of the system and four-point masses are placed on the vertices of an isosceles trapezoid with two equal massesm1=m4at positions∓0.5, rBandm2=m3at positions∓α/2,rA. The regions of central configurations where it is possible to choose positive masses are derived both analytically and numerically. It is also shown that in the complement of these regions no central configurations are possible.

With respect to structural consequences within a material, energetic electrons, above a threshold value of energy characteristic of a particular material, produce vacancy-interstial pairs (Frenkel pairs) by displacement of individual atoms, as illustrated for several materials in Table 1. Ion projectiles produce cascades of Frenkel pairs. Such displacement cascades result from high energy primary knock-on atoms which produce many secondary defects. These defects rearrange to form a variety of defect complexes on the time scale of tens of picoseconds following the primary displacement. A convenient measure of the extent of irradiation damage, both for electrons and ions, is the number of displacements per atom (dpa). 1 dpa means, on average, each atom in the irradiated region of material has been displaced once from its original lattice position. Displacement rate (dpa/s) is proportional to particle flux (cm-2s-1), the proportionality factor being the “displacement cross-section” σD (cm2). The cross-section σD depends mainly on the masses of target and projectile and on the kinetic energy of the projectile particle.
