摘要
We report a detailed ab initio study of the stability and migration of self-interstitial atoms (SIAs) and di-interstitials (di-SIAs) in alpha-Fe. The <110> dumbbell is confirmed to be the most stable SIA configuration, 0.7 eV below the <111> dumbbell. The lowest-energy migration path corresponds to a nearest-neighbor translation-rotation jump with a barrier of 0.34 eV. The most stable configuration for di-SIAs consists of <110> parallel dumbbells. Their migration mechanism is similar to that for SIAs, with an activation energy of 0.42 eV. These results are at variance with predictions from existing empirical potentials and allow one to reconcile theory with experiments.
