Research Abstract

Following seven items were published during 3 years supports of GRAND-IN-AID FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH (1) A computer simulation study on displacement damage formation near sigma-5 boundary in Silver. (2) Segregation of interstitial clusters near dislocations in FCC metals neutron-irradiated at high temperature. (3) Changes of the dislocation sink efficiency of point defect absorption for the fluence in neutron-irradiated FCC metals at high temperature. (4) Multiplication mechanism of dislocations in neutron-irradiated FCC metals at high temperature. (5) Atomistic mechanism of nucleation and growth of stacking fault tetrahedra (sft) and voids in neutron-irradiated FCC metals at high temperature. (6) Atomistic mechanism of damage structure evolution in fission neutron irradiated FCC metals at high temperature. (7) Atomistic mechanism of damage structure evolution in D-T fusion 14 MeV neutron irradiated FCC metals. In these works, the most significant result is the atomistic mechanism of the formation of vacancy clusters of voids and sft in neutron-irradiated FCC metals at high temperature. TEM observations showed that both of voids and sft form in an FCC metal simultaneously. The number of vacancy that is contained in a void is more than 500, while the number of vacancy in an sft is less than 250. Computer simulation shows that vacancy clusters can move as a cluster through Damask-Dienes-Weizer relaxation after the structure relaxes to string-like cluster. When a number of vacancies in a v-cluster are less than 250, the cluster relaxes to an sft. The sft is the most stable structure in Cu and Ni. When a number of vacancies in a cluster are more than 500, it does not relax to a one (111) platelet due to an anisotropy. A cluster relaxes to a spherical configuration, which are composed by a large number of {111} v-platelets. Its spherical clusters finally relax to a void.
