Abstract

ABSTRACTMolecular dynamics (MD) simulations are carried out to understand the mechanisms of damage production and recovery near grain boundaries in β-SiC under neutron irradiation. Our investigations show that the damage generated by radiation is reduced by the presence of a ∑9{122}[110] tilt grain boundary. Directional displacements which are averaged over an isoconfigurational ensemble are used to characterize the statistical nature of atomic mobility near the grain boundary.
