The molecular dynamics method was used and interaction betwen atoms was described based on pseudopotential method. Vortical character of the atom movements in the grain boundary region is realized under shear loading in certain directions. Back and forth movements of atoms in the direction which is perpendicular to the shear also arise. Amplitude of such movements is approximately equal to an interplanar distance in this direction.展开更多

The calculations have been performed at various temperutures and the thermodynamic melting point Tm of the model system is determined by using a many-body potential fitted to copper. A thermal disorder transition in the GB region occurs well below the melting point. Our results indicate that such a transition is a continuous process and there is no evidence of premelting, which is entirely in accord with experiment results and theoretical prediction.Moreover we also observed that melting initiated at the interface and then propagated into the bulk quickly at or above Tm.展开更多

Large number of the cavities with sizes smaller than 5 nm formed after irradiation, which were almost homogenously distributed inside the grains. However, the distribution of the cavities varied near the general grain boundary and the twin boundary. Cavities-depleted zone was readily observed near the general grain boundaries, which was rarely observed near the twin boundaries. Meanwhile, decoration of dense cavities within the grain boundary plane was observed. The results suggested the limited influence of the twin boundaries as the point defect sinks compared with the general grain boundaries.展开更多
