ABSTRACTWe have studied the damage annealing process using kinetic lattice Monte Carlo (KLMC) and molecular dynamics (MD) with initial damage distribution from Monte Carlo ion implant simulations. MD calculations find a long range interstitial vacancy interaction, as also seen in previous tight-binding molecular dynamics (TBMD) simulations.1 The influence of the long range interaction as well as the initial spatial correlations present in the implant damage are then analyzed with KLMC in the form of corrections to the +1 model. We find that both long range interactions and the initial spatial correlations are significant at low doses, while the effects disappear at high doses.

The statistical theory of long-range interactions between adsorbed particles on a plane lattice is worked out approximately, by treating in detail the distribution of adsorbed particles among a few sites inside and on the boundary of a circular region, and regarding the distribution outside the circle as uniform and continuous with a density Kθ per unit area, where K is the number of lattice points per unit area and θ is the fraction of surface covered by adsorbed particles. The continuous distribution begins at a distance ρ from the centre of the circle, ρ being determined by the condition that the probability of occupation of a first shell site is equal to the probability θ of occupation of the central site. Using this method, general formulae for the adsorption isotherm and the heat of adsorption are obtained. Numerical applications for dipole interactions and for quadratic and hexagonal lattices are worked out in detail and the case in which the dipole moment varies with θ is discussed.

In this paper, the comparison between power-law long-range interaction and Kac–Baker long-range interaction in the DNA molecule is investigated. This is done by employing an extended version of spin-like model of the DNA molecule with long-range interaction between intra-strand nucleotides and helicoidal coupling between inter-strand nucleotides when an RNA-polymerase binds to the DNA at biological temperature. Results show that LRIs have an undeniable effect on the DNA dynamics and that one is free to use either PLLRI or KBLRI to study DNA behaviors.
