Yy. Xia et al., REACTION CHANNELS AND REACTION PROBABILITY FOR C-60-C-60 COLLISIONS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 129(3), 1997, pp. 356-362
The channels and probability of collisional reactions between two C-60
molecules are studied using a molecular dynamics simulation method. F
or two C-60 molecules colliding at fixed impact parameters, the reacti
on channels and the threshold energies of the reactions are sensitivel
y dependent on the collision orientation between the colliding partner
s. The stable structures and the defects of the collision products are
also studied using a Langevin molecular dynamics scheme.
