Abstract
Experimental observations reveal that disclinated non-equilibrium grain boundaries (GBs) exist extensively in polycrystalline metals; however, the interaction between these GBs and irradiation-induced point defects is rarely reported. In the present work, Molecular statics simulation was used to evaluate the capacity of disclinated non-equilibrium GBs to accommodate point defects in tungsten. Simulation results showed that disclinated non-equilibrium GBs are more efficient sinks for point defects than their equilibrium counterparts because of long-range stress field around them. Continuous segregation of point defects will change the structure of the disclinated non-equilibrium GBs and leads to the GBs tending to relax to equilibrium state. According to theoretical calculation, the disclinated non-equilibrium GBs can absorb a large number of point defects before transforming into equilibrium state; therefore, disclinated non-equilibrium GBs have very strong capacity to accommodate point defects and can be used as strong defect sinks for developing radiation resistance materials.
