Influence of cluster mobility on Cu precipitation in α-Fe: A cluster dynamics modeling
Abstract
A cluster dynamics model has been parametrized to quantitatively reproduce results obtained by atomistic kinetic Monte Carlo (AKMC) modeling on the precipitation of Cu in α-Fe under thermal aging. The cluster mobility, highlighted by AKMC, is shown to have a significant effect on the precipitation kinetics and can reconcile the experimentally observed fast kinetics with the relatively low diffusivity of Cu monomers.
