Abstract

A computer simulation technique based on the Master Equation Method (MEM) is developed for modeling the spatial distribution of vacancies during ordering and subsequent domain coalescence and coarsening. A vacancy mechanism is assumed for the atomic diffusion and the single-site approximation is employed. It is demonstrated that vacancies strongly segregate into the antiphase domain boundaries (APBs) during coarsening, resulting in the vacancy concentration at APBs more than an order of magnitude higher than that inside the ordered domains. As the antiphase domains coarsen, the vacancy concentration at the APBs continues to increase and its spatial s segregation profile moves accompanying the APB migration. The effect of vacancy concentration on the antiphase domain coarsening kinetics is discussed.
