Relation of Vacancy Formation and Migration Energies to the Debye Temperature in Solids
نویسنده
چکیده
A derivation of the relation between the vacancy formation energy E,, the migration energy E, and the Debye temperature 0c is presented. In the Debye model, the relation between E, and Bc follows directly from the “dynamical” form of diffusion theories. The relation between E, and Bc is obtained for solids obeying a corresponding states law. The Debye temperature appearing in the derived expressions is Bc (Debye-Waller factor) rather than eo(C,).

Helium bubble formation in ultrafine and nanocrystalline tungsten under different extreme conditions
We have investigated the effects of helium ion irradiation energy and sample temperature on the performance of grain boundaries as helium sinks in ultrafine grained and nanocrystalline tungsten. Irradiations were performed at displacement and non-displacement energies and at temperatures above and below that required for vacancy migration. Microstructural investigations were performed using Tra...
متن کاملActivation energies for vacancy migration, clustering and annealing in silicon
A series of measurements have been performed at the University of Bath to study the evolution of vacancy-type structures in silicon. Isothermal annealing performed during positron beam-based Doppler broadening measurements have yielded activation energies for vacancy cluster formation and evaporation in silicon of approximately 2.5 and 3.7 eV, respectively. The clusters, which could predominant...

متن کاملThe role of Frenkel defect diffusion in dynamic annealing in ion-irradiated Si
The formation of stable radiation damage in crystalline solids often proceeds via complex dynamic annealing processes, involving migration and interaction of ballistically-generated point defects. The dominant dynamic annealing processes, however, remain unknown even for crystalline Si. Here, we use a pulsed ion beam method to study defect dynamics in Si bombarded in the temperature range from ...

In this work, the formation of oxygen-vacancy defect in 3d metals-doped TiO2 anatase and rutile structures is first investigated. The systematic calculations of formation energy, crystalline stability, band structure and density of state (DOS) of TiO2 samples of anatase and rutile doped with 3d transition metals with and without oxygen defect is done using FHI-aims as a software package based o...
