Abstract
In this paper, we describe the computer simulation technique and its application to the study of radiation damage. Details of two important methods: the static and the dynamic methods have been discussed. Applications to the study of point defect formation and stability, their clusters, diffusion, dislocations and dislocation-point defect interaction are discussed drawing from our own work wherever possible. A short mention is made of the importance of the interatomic potential. Examples for the case of magnesium and other hcp metals, bcc iron and fcc Ni are cited and numbers for various quantities like formation energy, dipole tensor, interaction energy etc are quoted.
