The release of clusters from the surface of PuO₂ nanocrystals caused by the alpha decay collision cascades was simulated using the molecular dynamics. The clusters containing up to several hundred particles were recorded. The obtained size distributions of the clusters were characterized by relatively high probabilities of the formation of large clusters. The total kinetic energy of the released material reached tens of percent of the total energy of the collision cascade. Single ions, both plutonium and oxygen, could have kinetic energies of up to several thousand electron-volts. The electric charge of the clusters in most cases was close to zero, although clusters with significant negative charges were also observed.

使用分子动力学模拟了由α衰变碰撞级联引起的PuO ₂纳米晶体表面簇的释放。记录了最多包含数百个粒子的簇。所获得的团簇的尺寸分布的特征在于形成较大团簇的可能性较高。释放出的材料的总动能达到碰撞级联总能的百分之十。和氧的单离子可能具有高达数千电子伏特的动能。在大多数情况下，尽管也观察到了带明显负电荷的簇，但簇的电荷几乎接近零。
