presents a detailed computational protocol for the atomistic simulation of formation and growth of metal-containing nanostructures during focused electron beam-induced deposition (FEBID). The protocol is based upon irradiation-drivenmoleculardynamics (IDMD), a novel and general methodology for computer

The controllable fabrication of nanostructures with nanoscale resolution remains a considerable scientific and technological challenge [1]. To address this challenge
up to a few hundred atoms. This makes ab initio approaches of limited use to describe the irradiation-induced chemical transformations occurring during the FEBID process.
A breakthrough into the atomistic description of FEBID has been achieved recently by means of irradiation-drivenmolecular
