Vacancy enhanced formation and phase transition of Cu-rich precipitates in α - iron under neutron irradiation

In this paper, we employed both molecular statics and molecular dynamics simulation methods to investigate the role of vacancies in the formation and phase transition of Cu-rich precipitates in α-iron. The results indicated that vacancies promoted the diffusion of Cu atoms to form Cu-rich precipitat...
