Abstract
Using the two-temperature (2T-MD) model in molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate
the condition of switching the electronic stopping term o when the electron-phonon coupling is
activated in the damage production due to 50 keV Ni ion cascades in Ni and equiatomic NiFe.
Additionally we investigate the e ect of the electron-phonon coupling activation time in the damage
production. We nd that the switching condition has negligible e ect in the produced damage,
while the choice of the activation time of the electron-phonon coupling can a ect the amount of
surviving damage.
