Atomic-scale modelling of primary damage and properties of radiation defects in metals

Considerable success has been achieved in recent years in the understanding of radiation damage production in high-energy displacement cascades, the properties of the defects and evolution of radiation damage in metals. Two main reasons form the basis of this success. First, the significant increase in computing power has allowed simulation of realistic cascade energies with good statistics and relatively long-time evolution of defects to be carried out. Second, new experimental findings and corresponding theoretical calculations have allowed interpretation of a number of mechanisms and phenomena crucial for understanding and prediction of practically important radiation effects, such as void swelling, radiation growth, matrix hardening and plastic flow localisation. In this paper we review the most significant results in atomic-scale computer modelling related to these issues, mainly focusing on new achievements such as the formation of extended defect clusters, the dynamic properties of defect clusters, interaction between radiation defects and strengthening of material due to radiation defects.

Properties of Atomic Defects in Metals: Proceedings of the International Conference on the Properties of Atomic Defects in Metals, Argonne Illinois

L Peterson and R W Siegel (eds) 1978 Amsterdam: North Holland xviii + 820 pp price $165.25 The proceedings contain a number of excellent reviews followed by contributed papers on the behaviour of point defects in metals including diffusion, configurations, interactions with solute atoms and clustering. Diffusion and point defect interactions with solute atoms are particularly well covered and there have been some exciting developments in the latter topic since the last major conference in the field.

Vacancy Annihilation to Non-Uniformly Distributed Dislocations in Quenched Aluminum

Annealing profiles of vacancies in zone-refined aluminum were studied by electrical resistance measurement after quenching, and discussed under either assumption of uniform distribution of dislocations or non-uniform one. The annealing curves calculated for the non-uniform distribution of dislocations, using E m 1 =0.65 eV, E m 2 =0.50 eV and B 2 =0.17 eV, show the excellent fit to the experimental annealing curves. It is suggested from such an analysis that the annealing experiment should be made on the specimen with a controlled dislocation density and configuration in order to clarify the fundamental properties of point defects in metals.
