AbstractThe surface relaxation and the formation of a single vacancy in very thin Cu (001) film formed by 2 ∼ 14 atomic layers have been studied by using MAEAM and MD simulation. For the surface relaxtion, the highest surface energy is in the l = 2 atomic layers. The multilayer relaxation mainly occurs between the first two atomic layers, and the maximum contractive displacement is obtained in the very thin Cu (001) film formed by l = 3 atomic layers. For the vacancy formed in l′ = 1 of the very thin Cu (001) film formed by l = 2 ∼ 14 layers, the most difficult site in the film formed by l = 3 atomic layers.

ABSTRACTThe influence of Fe alloying on the formation of thermal vacancies in Ni75Al25-xFex has been specifically studied by high-temperature, positron lifetime spectroscopy (PLS). The results are consistent with a previously reported decrease of the activation energy for the vacancy formation upon alloying of Ni75Al25 with Fe derived from residual isochronal resistometry (REST): an indirect method for vacancy studies.

Both the formation and migration energies of a single vacancy migrating intra- and inter-layer of the CuAg-terminated (001) surface or Cu-terminated (001) surface for Cu3Ag ordered alloy have been calculated by using the modified analytical embedded-atom method (MAEAM) with the molecular dynamics (MD) method. The surface effects on the vacancy formation and migration are all down to 6L for the CuAg-terminated (001) surface, but is respectively down to 5L and 6L for the Cu-terminated (001) surface. The vacancy energetically formed in the 1L. There is a vacancy aggregation tendency in the 1L as well as in the bulk the Cu vacancy is easier to be formed than the Ag vacancy.
