Mechanism of Void Nucleation and Growth in bcc Fe: Atomistic Simulations Experimental Time Scales

Evolution of small-vacancy clusters in bcc Fe is simulated using a multiscale approach coupling an atomistic activation-relaxation method for sampling transition-state pathways with environment-dependent reaction coordinate calculations and a kinetic Monte Carlo simulation to reach time scales on th...
