Plasticity of Neutron Star Crusts
Matthew E Caplan, Nevin T Smith, Ashley J Bransgrove +1
We use first-principles molecular dynamics simulations to study the deformation and breaking of neutron star crusts. When simulating with strain rates several orders of magnitude s…

Grain Boundary Diffusion in Yukawa Crystals
Matthew E. Caplan, Nevin T. Smith, Dany Yaacoub +3
We present calculations of diffusion coefficients in grain boundaries in Yukawa crystals for astrophysics. Our methods follow from our recent work calculating diffusion coefficient…
