First, the calculated Burgers vector distribution shows that the equilibrium dissociation distance （Ded） and the stacking fault energy （Esf） between two partial edge dislocations are about 25.95 ？ and 108 mJ/m2, respectively. Then, the obtained formation energies （Ef） of a He atom at some different sites demonstrate that the He atom is attracted and repelled in the tension and compression regions, respectively. And the He？dislocation interaction reveals that an interstitial He atom plays a more significant role in the dislocation movement than a substitutional He atom. Finally, it is found that the movement of an interstitial He atom is apparent as the first partial dislocation bypasses and the edge dislocation offers fast-diffusion path for the migration of a He atom.展开更多

This phenomenon is in contrast to traditional bubble formation mechanism. This phenomenon is very important in understanding the properties of nuclear fuel. In this work, we apply a time- dependent microscopic atom transport equation and take into account stress coherent potential in the boundary of the dislocation. Using the equation, we numerically solved the stress coherence effect and studied the transfer properties of Xenon atoms along the dislocation line. Our numerical results show that the transport of the Xenon atoms along the dislocation changes nonlinearly with the external driving energy, and reaches at the saturation values. It explains the growth limit of Xenon atom bubbles that is in agreement with the experiment results.展开更多
