STABILITY AND MOBILITY OF SELF-INTERSTITIAL ATOMS AND THEIR CLUSTERS IN Fe-Cr ALLOYS: AN ATOMIC-LEVEL STUDY
نویسنده
چکیده
We used DFT calculations and a recently developed empirical potential for FeCr to study in detail the stability and mobility of single-SIA and SIA clusters in FeCr alloys of different concentrations, up to 15%Cr. We show that the presence of Cr creates local trapping configurations that can significantly reduce the mobility of single SIA and SIA clusters, thereby explaining a number of experimental observations. The obtained results provide quantitative estimates of this effect for different FeCr compositions.

Production of Equal Sized Atomic Clusters by a Hot Wire
A resistively heated metal wire is shown to be a source of charged atomic clusters consisting of only a few atoms. They are size classified with a differential mobility analyzer, and their relative abundance is determined as a function of size. AgnK + clusters are obtained from wires containing silver with traces of potassium to provide the electric charge. First principles calculations reveal ...
متن کاملAtomic-Scale Picture of the Composition, Decay, and Oxidation of Two-Dimensional Radioactive Films.
Two-dimensional radioactive (125)I monolayers are a recent development that combines the fields of radiochemistry and nanoscience. These Au-supported monolayers show great promise for understanding the local interaction of radiation with 2D molecular layers, offer different directions for surface patterning, and enhance the emission of chemically and biologically relevant low-energy electrons. ...
متن کاملFirst-principles study of adsorption, diffusion, and charge stability of metal adatoms on alkali halide surfaces
In this work we have performed first-principles calculations based on the spin-polarized density-functional theory for the adsorption and diffusion of Au, Ag, and Pb atoms on NaCl 001 , KCl 001 , and KBr 001 surfaces. We consider also the influence of adatom charge on the adsorption and diffusion. In order to characterize the different systems we explicitly calculate charge transfer between sur...
متن کاملDefect configuration and phase stability of cubic versus tetragonal yttria-stabilized zirconia
a r t i c l e i n f o Using first-principles calculations, we have carried out a systematic comparative study of the microscopic atomic defect configurations in cubic and tetragonal yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and their correlation with the macroscopic lattice parameters and relative phase stability, as a function of Y concentration. We found that Y atoms sit at the second-nearest-neighbor...
متن کاملThe electronic structure and the band gap of nano-sized Si particles: competition between quantum confinemen and surface reconstruction
The electronic structure and especially the band gap of Sin clusters (n = 3–45 atoms) is studied by photoelectron spectroscopy. Contrary to expectations of quantum conf nement, almost all clusters studied here have a band gap smaller than that of crystalline Si or even display a continuous (metallic) density of states. We attribute this to covalent bond formation analogous to the reconstruction...
