Abstract

We have evaluated phosphorus (P) segregation in ion-irradiated nickel (Ni) by the rate theory model incorporating the results of first principles calculations. We find from our first principles calculation that the transport of P via the rotation mode of a mixed-dumbbell is unlikely to occur, and the transport coefficient of phosphorus by the vacancy mechanism is much larger than that reported previously. On the basis of our first principles results, we have also proposed to include the effect of free migration of P via the octahedral interstitial site of FCC Ni crystal in the rate theory model. With all these renewed parameters, we have successfully obtained the P distribution in irradiated Ni, which is very close to experiment, by adjusting the effect of P transport by the vacancy mechanism.
