Formation of dislocation dipoles in irradiated graphite
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently, we have proposed a dislocation dipole accumulation model to explain the irradiation-induced amorphization of graphite. However, the structure of dislocation dipole in the hexagonal networks is still an open question at the atomic-level. In this paper, we propose a possible formation process of the dislocation dipole. © 2001 Elsevier Science. All rights reserved

Microstructural changes of graphite irradiated with swift heavy ions
Several methods, such as electron microscopy, scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), X-ray diffraction, and decoration technique can be used to observe radiation damage in materials. In this work, we report microstructural changes and defect clusters induced by swift heavy ions (SHI) on graphite surfaces, visualized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Our studies have been performed on fine-g...
متن کاملDensity Functional and Dislocation Theory of Graphite Related to Nuclear Materials
This thesis concerns the physicochemical understanding of radiation damage in graphite. It is structured in two parts, the first being a foundation of elastic and bonding properties in graphite and its intercalation compound with Bromine. The second builds on this with dislocation theory to analyse dimensional change and stored elastic energy. Part 1: Density functional theory (DFT) in the loca...
متن کاملDynamic Microstructural Evolution of Graphite under Displacing Irradiation
Graphitic materials and graphite composites experience dimensional change when exposed to radiation-induced atomic displacements. This has major implications for current and future technological ranging from nuclear fission reactors to the processing of graphene-silicon hybrid devices. Dimensional change in nuclear graphites is a complex problem involving the filler, binder, porosity, cracks an...
متن کاملExtinction by porous silicate and graphite grains
Discrete dipole approximation (DDA) is used to calculate extinction efficiencies of porous silicate and graphite grains. We apply DDA first to the spheroidal solid grains assumed to be made of a large number of small scattering elements (dipoles). Then we systematically reduce the number of dipoles to model the porous grains. The extinction is studied as a function of wavelength, grain size and...
متن کاملSimulation of the Structure of Screw Dislocations in the Inter-layer of Graphite
Introduction Researches on dislocations in graphite have been carried out from the 1950s. For example, edge dislocations [1] and partial dislocations in the basal plane [2] have been observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The spiral growth patterns which originate from the screw dislocation have been observed [3, 4]. Moreover, it was observed by atomic force microscope (AFM) that g...
