Impact of interstitial impurities on the trapping of dislocation loops in tungsten

Abstract Ab initio simulations are employed to assess the interaction of typical interstitial impurities with self-interstitial atoms, dislocation loops and edge dislocation lines in tungsten. These impurities are present in commercial tungsten grades and are also created as a result of neutron tran...
