Abstract: | Vacancy jumps in a bicrystal model of Σ = 5 (36.9°) 001] tilt boundary in aluminum have been observed at temperatures between 700 and 800 K by means of molecular dynamics simulation. Preliminary results indicated considerable structure dependence and yielded an activation energy for vacancy migration of 0.38 eV. In contrast to a previous study of vacancy migration in a bcc tilt boundary, thermal activation of a boundary interstitial by Frenkel pair production was not observed. |
