C. Domain, C.S. Becquart The microstructure evolution of Fe alloys is modelled by Atomic kinetic Monte Carlo on lattice. Several substitutional elements (Cu, Ni, Mn, Si, P) and foreign interstitials (C, N) are considered to describe the alloy, vacancies and self interstitials for radiation damage studies. Both vacancies and self interstitials have tendency to form clusters. The evolution of these clusters is governed by the low migration energy of individual point defects which is heavy in terms of computing time. The structure of these competiting objects is complexe and some implementation of time accelerated methods will be presented. |
