Boron diffusion in bcc-Fe studied by first-principles calculations |
The configurations used in this work. (a) Boron atom at the substitutional site (S), the tetrahedral interstitial site (T), and the octahedral interstitial site (O). (b) The configurations of a boron atom and a monovacancy. Around the monovacancy (V), the first four (1, 2, 3, and 4) nearest S, O, T sites of the boron atom are shown. (c) The configurations of a divacancy and an adjacent boron atom near the divacancy. The first five nearest neighboring divacancies (1N, 2N, 3N, 4N, 5N) with boron atoms at their first three nearest substitutional sites (1, 2, and 3) are shown. |
