Abstract

A method is proposed for calculating sink strengths in complex microstructures, containing several sink types, some of which may be mobile. It is based on the estimation of mean lifetime of defects and on the fraction of defects absorbed by the different sinks. As an application, sink strengths for self-interstitial atoms are calculated with object kinetic Monte Carlo in microstructures containing vacancies and dislocations or grain boundaries. The transition from one-dimensional to three-dimensional diffusion of self-interstitial atoms and the role of vacancy mobility are investigated. Multiple-sink effects on sink strengths are shown to be present for all sinks, but only in specific diffusion regimes of self-interstitial atoms and vacancies. Results are discussed in light of existing expressions of sink strengths, and new expressions are proposed.

复杂微结构中汇强度的计算

提出了一种计算包含多种汇类型的复杂微结构中汇强度的方法，其中一些汇类型可能是移动的。它是基于缺陷平均寿命的估计和缺陷被不同的汇吸收的比例。作为一种应用，用物体动力学蒙特卡罗方法计算了含有空位和位错或晶界的微结构中自间隙原子的汇强度。研究了自间隙原子从一维扩散到三维扩散的转变以及空位迁移率的作用。多汇效应对汇强度显示存在于所有汇，但仅在自间隙原子和空位的特定扩散机制中。对已有的沉降强度表达式进行了讨论，提出了新的沉降强度表达式。
