Relativistic and Electromagnetic Molecular Dynamics Simulations for a Carbon-Gold Nanotube Accelerator

Relativistic molecular dynamics are described in ultra-high temperature and MeV energy behaviors. In strongly-coupled systems, the Coulomb electrostatic field is collected in the infinite space, and the electromagnetic fields are added in the coordinate space. Separation of the electromagnetic and electrostatic electric fields is a good approximation for short time periods. For a numerical application, a nanotube accelerator under an $E \times B$ pulse is studied. Positive ions are accelerated in the parallel direction, whereas the electrons proceed in the perpendicular direction. Rapid expansion to infinite space and short-range electromagnetic radiation cooperate for large intensities. At $10^{22}\rm{W/cm}^{2}$, pulsation oscillations for gold and carbon ions flare up and electrons acquire the relativistic velocities. They are observed in relativistic molecular dynamics simulation.
