Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Detonation Instability
After making modifications to the Reactive Empirical Bond Order potential for
Molecular Dynamics (MD) of Brenner et al. in order to make the model behave in
a more conventional manner, we discover that the new model exhibits detonation
instability, a first for MD. The instability is analyzed in terms of the
accepted theory.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures. Submitted to Phys. Rev. E Minor edits. Removed
