Calculation of the escape of the recoil atoms in the reaction 98Mo(n, γ)99Mo from molybdenum (IV) disulfide nanoparticles

  • Published:
Atomic Energy Aims and scope

The probability Pesc of obtaining recoil atoms from molybdenum (IV) disulfide nanoparticles with prescribed sizes and optimal diameter is calculated analytically, which made it possible to determine the main physical characteristics of the motion of recoil atoms inside nanoparticles. The results of a Monte Carlo calculation of Pesc using expressions from molecular dynamics are presented. The optimal diameter of nanoparticles is determined by comparing the results of analytical and numerical calculations.
