Q

What types of fields does vacancies cause on neighboring atoms?

A

Attractive forces of neighboring atoms into vacancy creates tensile stress (strain) field, which is elastic isotropic. The strain field is nearly spherical and short range

Q

Name the five recovery stages for V&I with increasing temperature.

A

I: Collapse of close frenkel pairs, correlated and uncorrelated recombination
II: Interstitial clusters grow leading to small interstitial loops.
III: Vacancies migrate and adulate at interstitial clusters
IV: Vacancy clusters surviving III grow in size and then dissociate thermally

31
Q

Where do dislocations end?

A

At interfaces or form loops

32
Q

What does introducing dislocations in the crystal leads to?

A

Leads to shape change of crystal leading to elastic stress in the lattice.

33

Q

What are twins?

A

highly symmetrical with slight miss orientation where atoms are shared.

36
Q

Why do twins occur mainly?

A

Occurs if not enough slips systems are avaliable for deformation twinning

37
