Computational Study of Short-Pulse Laser-Induced Generation of Crystal Defects in Ni-Based Single-Phase Binary Solid–Solution Alloys
Abstract
Single-phase concentrated solid–solution alloys exhibit enhanced mechanical characteristics and radiation damage resistance, making them promising candidate materials for applications involving an exposure to rapid localized energy deposition. We use large-scale atomistic modeling to investigate the mechanisms of the generation of vacancies, dislocations, stacking faults, and twin boundaries in Ni, Ni50Fe50, Ni80Fe20, and Ni80Cr20 targets irradiated by short laser pulses in the regime of melting and resolidification. The decrease in the thermal conductivity and strengthening of the electron–phonon coupling due to the intrinsic chemical disorder in the solid-solution alloys are found to have important implications on localization of the energy deposition and generation of thermoelastic stresses. The interaction of the laser-induced stress waves with the melting front is found to play a key role in roughening of the crystal–liquid interface and generation of dislocations upon the solidification. A common feature revealed in the structural analysis of all irradiated targets is the presence of high vacancy concentrations exceeding the equilibrium values at the melting temperature by about an order of magnitude. On the basis of the results of molecular dynamics simulations of solidification occurring at fixed levels of undercooling, the generation of vacancies is correlated with the velocity of the solidification front,more »

On the basis of the results of molecular dynamics simulations of solidification occurring at fixed levels of undercooling, the generation of vacancies is correlated with the velocity of the solidification front, and the processes responsible for creating the strong vacancy supersaturation are revealed. The suppression of the vacancy generation in the solid–solution alloys is also revealed and related to combined effect of enhanced vacancy mobility and higher energy of the vacancy formation in the alloy systems. The analysis of the first atomic shells surrounding the vacancy sites in Ni–Fe alloys uncovers the preference for the vacancy sites to be surrounded by Fe atoms and suggests that atomic-scale chemical heterogeneities may play an important role in defining the behavior and properties of the single-phase concentrated solid-solution alloys.},
