It was found that the difference of the 110 and 111 formation energies is 0.05–0.3 e V. Further analysis indicated that the stability of SIAs is closely related to the concentration of the defect. When the concentration of the point defect is high, 110 SIAs are more likely to exist, 111 SIAs are the opposite. In addition, the vacancy migration probability and self-recovery zones for these SIAs were researched by making a detailed comparison. The calculation provided a new viewpoint about the stability of point defects for selfinterstitial configurations and would benefit the understanding of the control mechanism of defect behavior for this novel fusion material.展开更多

By this method, not only the funds can be saved, but also the operation becomes simple and the analysed results are accurate and reliable. On the other hand, the high fusion point materials, such as high aluminum ceramic raw ma- terials, can also be melted and their aluminum contents can be determined by this method. Thus, it can be widely used in the students laboratory and routine analysis of small and middle industrial enterprises.展开更多

The results of polycrystalline Ni samples indicate that the 1 MeV beam only induces decrease in the WF within the experimental fluence range; whereas the irradiation of 500 eV beam results in decrease in the WF firstly, then increase till saturation. A dual layer surface model is employed to explain the observed phenomena, together with computer simulation results by SRIM code. Charges buildup on the surface of lithium ceramics has been found to greatly influence the probe output, which can be explained qualitatively using a model concerning an induction electric field due to external field and free charges on the ceramic surface.展开更多
