Triangular interstitial frank loop dissociation in irradiated metals

Journal Article · · Scr. Metall.; (United States)

Energies of two dissociated configurations of triangular interstitial Frank loop are computed. Results are compared with those for the hexagonal interstitial Frank loop, which is more likely to occur in irradiated Si. Results from the comparison between the two triangular configurations are analyzed in terms of the eventual existence of extrinsic stacking fault tetrahedra in irradiated metal. (DLC)
