bcc Fe的刃型位错中氦-空位团的稳定性

 采用周期性原子阵列方法建立bcc Fe中的刃型位错,利用分子动力学计算了0 K时bcc Fe的位错芯里氦-空位团的稳定性,并与理想Fe晶体里氦-空位团的稳定性进行比较发现,位错的作用导致氦-空位团不稳定。点缺陷（He、空位与自间隙Fe原子）与氦-空位团的结合能与团中氦-空位比例密切相关,当氦与空位数之比在3~6时,结合能趋于稳定。     

Ab initio study of formation, migration and binding properties of helium-vacancy clusters in aluminum

Ab initio calculations based on density functional theory have been performed to study the dissolution and migration of helium, and the stability of small helium-vacancy clusters He_nV_m (n, m=0-4) in aluminum. The results indicate that the octahedral configuration is more stable than the tetrahedral. Interstitial helium atoms are predicted to have attractive interactions and jump between two octahedral sites via an intermediate tetrahedral site with low migration energy. The binding energies of an interstitial He atom and an isolated vacancy to a He_nV_m cluster are also obtained from the calculated formation energies of the clusters. We find that the di- and tri-vacancy clusters are not stable, but He atoms can increase the stability of vacancy clusters.     

Annealing of defect clusters in irradiated tungsten

Transmission electron microscopy has been used to study the thermal annealing of radiation induced defect clusters in tungsten irradiated at reactor ambient tempeaature, ～ 70°C. Annealing, consisting of the growth and eventual elimination of the clusters, is observed to occur in two stages, one at temperatures below 435°C and one at temperatures above 740°C, which are interpreted as being due to interstitial and vacancy migration, respectively. The changes in defect cluster size and density are paralleled by similar changes in the measured strength of the material, and can be quantitatively correlated with the shear stress on the basis of a model of dislocation movement through a random array of obstacles.     

α-铁中位移级联过程中缺陷的生成和He-空位复合物的形成

运用分子动力学方法研究了不同He浓度和不同级联能下含He的α-Fe低温时的位移级联过程.模拟的主要撞击原子(PKA)的能量(E_P)(即级联能)从500eV变化到5keV，辐照温 度为100K，He的浓度从1%变化到5%.比较了不同He浓度下的Fe-He混合物和纯α-Fe的位移级 联过程，发现在含有He的α-Fe中总的Fe和He的Frenkel对与纯的α-Fe的Frenkel对的数目相 当.当He的浓度较低时，含有He的α-Fe中的Frenkel对比α-Fe的要低，随He的浓度增加，有 He的α-Fe中的Frenkel对比α-Fe中的高，这主要与He在金属中的性质有关.本研究证明了位 移级联过程可以直接导致He泡的成核.对不同级联能和不同He浓度下Fe的位移级联过程的模 拟，发现在同样的级联能下，随着He浓度的增加，He成团的几率增大；在同样的He浓度下, 随着级联能的增加,He成团的几率也同样增加，并分析了级联下He泡的形成机制. 关键词： Fe 位移级联 He-空位复合物 分子动力学     

Dispersion energy of void clusters in irradiated metals

It is shown that a very long-range, dispersive-type interaction exists between voids in metals which may contribute to the void crystalization phenomenon.     

Non-equilibrium behavior of sticky colloidal particles: beads,clusters and gels

To understand the non-equilibrium behavior of colloidal particles with short-range attraction, we studied salt-induced aggregation of lysozyme. Optical microscopy revealed four regimes: bicontinuous texture, beads, large aggregates, and transient gelation. The interaction of a metastable liquid-liquid binodal and an ergodic to non-ergodic transition boundary inside the equilibrium crystallization region can explain our findings.     

Kinetics of dislocation ensembles in deformable irradiated materials

The development of plastic instability in the initial deformation stages of irradiated materials is studied. The dependence of the fraction of dislocations which overcome obstacles in the dynamic regime (dislocation “channeling”) on the degree of radiation hardening (irradiation dose) and the dislocation velocity is analyzed. It is shown that this effect plays a role in radiation embrittlement of reactor materials. Fiz. Tverd. Tela (St. Petersburg) 40, 1631–1634 (September 1998)     

Dislocation decoration and raft formation in irradiated materials

Experimental observations of dislocation decoration with self-interstitial atom (SIA) clusters and of SIA cluster rafts are analysed to establish the mechanisms controlling these phenomena in bcc metals. The elastic interaction between SIA clusters, and between clusters and dislocations is included in kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations of damage evolution in irradiated bcc metals. The results indicate that SIA clusters, which normally migrate by 1D glide, rotate due to their elastic interactions, and that this rotation is necessary to explain experimentally-observed dislocation decoration and raft formation in neutron-irradiated pure iron. The critical dose for raft formation in iron is shown to depend on the intrinsic glide/rotation characteristics of SIA clusters. The model is compared with experimental observations for the evolution of defect cluster densities (sessile SIA clusters and nano-voids), dislocation decoration characteristics and the conditions for raft formation.     

Recombination processes in atomic clusters irradiated by superintense femtosecond laser pulses

Various mechanisms of recombination of electrons with multiply charged atomic ions in atomic clusters irradiated by superintense femtosecond laser pulses are discussed. All of the recombination mechanisms are shown to take a time considerably longer than the laser pulse duration and, hence, they can develop only in a homogeneous, fairly rarefied cluster plasma after pulse termination. All autoionization states of multiply charged ions in a dense cluster plasma have been found to be destroyed by the Holtsmark electric field.     

Cluster dynamics simulation of point defect clusters in neutron irradiated pure iron

The effect of the size dependence of the production rate of point defect clusters is taken into account in the cluster dynamics (CD) modeling of the simultaneous formation of vacancy clusters and self-interstitial atom clusters in neutron-irradiated pure iron. The calibration of material parameters has been carried out. The correspondence between small angle neutron scattering, transmission electron microscopy and positron annihilation spectroscopy and CD data is studied.     

Non-equilibrium in cosmology

All the non-trivial features of the Universe we see around us, such as particles, stars, galaxies, and clusters of galaxies, are the result of non-equilibrium processes in the cosmic evolution. These lectures aim to provide some general background in cosmology and to examine specific, and notable, examples of departures from thermal equilibrium. They are organized as follows: 1) Overview of the thermal history of the Universe after the Big Bang: the relevant time-scales and the mechanism of particle decoupling from the themal bath; 2) Explicit examples of cosmic relics: nucleosynthesis, photons and the cosmic microwave background, neutrinos, and cold dark matter; 3) Baryogenesis: the generation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe; 4) The formation of cosmic structures (galaxies, clusters of galaxies): from the Vlasov equation to the renormalization group.

Observation of X-ray spectra from nitrogen clusters irradiated with high-intensity ultrashort laser pulses

X-ray spectra from nitrogen clusters irradiated with ultrashort laser pulses are reported. The line spectra of H-like and He-like nitrogen ions have been observed by irradiation with 100 fs, 800 nm pulses at 7×10¹⁷ W/cm² irradiance. The generation of highly charged ions of N⁶⁺ and N⁷⁺ is explained by the optical field-induced ionization and the subsequent collisional ionizations in the clusters. The He-δline has anomalously high brightness compared to other He-like lines. It is ascribed to charge exchange, which preferentially populates the n=5 level of N⁵⁺.

Enhancement of double auger decay probability in xenon clusters irradiated with a soft-x-ray laser pulse

The interaction of large Xe clusters with a soft x-ray laser pulse having a wavelength of 13.9 nm and an intensity of up to 2x10(10) W/cm2 was investigated using a time-of-flight ion mass spectrometer. The corresponding laser photon energy was sufficiently high to photoionize Xe 4d innershell electrons. It was found that Xe3+ ions (which result from double Auger decay of 4d vacancies) became the dominant final ionic product with increasing cluster size and x-ray intensity. This is in contrast to the results of synchrotron radiation experiments involving free Xe atoms, in which Xe2+ is the dominant resultant ion species. Possible mechanisms responsible for the enhancement of the double Auger transition probability in x-ray laser and cluster interaction are discussed.     

Coulomb expansion of deuterated methane clusters irradiated by an ultrashort intense laser pulse

The simulations of three-dimensional particle dynamics show that when irradiated by an ultrashort intense laser pulse, the deuterated methane cluster expands and the majority of deuterons overrun the more slowly expanding carbon ions, resulting in the creation of two separated subelusters. The enhanced deuteron kinetic energy and a narrow peak around the energy maximum in the deuteron energy distribution make a considerable contribution to the efficiency of nuclear fusion compared with the ease of homonuelear deuterium clusters. With the intense laser irradiation, the nuclear fusion yield increases with the increase of the cluster size, so that deuterated heteronuelear clusters with larger sizes are required to achieve a greater neutron yield.
