During severe plastic deformation (SPD), the processes of lattice defect formation as well as their relaxation (annihilation) compete with each other. As a result, a dynamic equilibrium is established, and a steady state is reached after a certain strain value. Simultaneously, other kinetic processes act in opposite directions and also compete with each other during SPD, such as grain refinement/growth, mechanical strengthening/softening, formation/decomposition of solid solution, etc. These competing processes also lead to dynamic equilibrium and result in a steady state (saturation), albeit after different strains. Among these steady-state phenomena, particle fragmentation during the second phase of SPD has received little attention. Available data indicate that precipitate fragmentation slows down with increasing strain, though saturation is achieved at higher strains than in the case of hardness or grain size. Moreover, one can consider the SPD-driven nanocrystallization in the amorphous phase as a process that is opposite to the fragmentation of precipitates. The size of these crystalline nanoprecipitates also saturates after a certain strain. The fragmentation of precipitates during SPD is the topic of this review.

Oxygen ionic transport in mixed-conducting Ca2Fe2O5-δ brownmillerite was analyzed in light of potential applications in the composite materials for oxygen separation membranes and solid oxide fuel cell cathodes. The lattice defect formation and oxygen diffusion mechanisms were assessed by the computer simulations employing molecular dynamics and static lattice modeling. The most energetically favorable oxygen-vacancy location is in the octahedral layers of the brownmillerite structure, which provide a maximum contribution to the ionic migration in comparison with the structural blocks comprising iron-oxygen tetrahedra. The activation energies for the vacancy and interstitial diffusion in the tetrahedral layers, and also between the octahedral and tetrahedral sheets, are several times higher. The calculated values were found comparable to the experimental activation energy for ionic conduction in Ca2Fe2O5-δ, 147 kJ/mol, determined by the steady-state oxygen permeation measurements. The dense membranes of model composite Ca2Fe2O5-δ - Ce0.9Gd0.1O2-δ with equal weight fractions of the components (CGCF5) were sintered and characterized. No critical interdiffusion of the composite constituents, leading to their decomposition, was found by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopic analyses. The electrical conductivity of this composite, with an activation energy of 37 kJ/mol, is intermediate between two parent compounds and is dominantly p-type electronic as for Ca2Fe2O5-δ. Since the ion- and electron-conducting phases are well percolated in the composite ceramics, the oxygen permeation fluxes through CGCF5 are considerably higher than those of both constituents.

ABSTRACTIntrinsic point defects determine to a large extent the semiconductor crystal quality both mechanically and electrically not only during crystal growth or when tuning polished wafer properties by thermal treatments, but also and not the least during device processing. Point defects play e.g. a crucial role in dopant diffusion and activation, in gettering processes and in extended lattice defect formation.Available experimental data and results of numerical calculation of the formation energy and diffusivity of the intrinsic point defects in Si and Ge are compared and discussed. Intrinsic point defect clustering is illustrated by defect formation during Czochralski crystal growth.

Little is known about an enhanced lattice defect formation due to an interaction between hydrogen and dislocation in face-centered cubic (fcc) metals such as stainless steels. In the present study, hydrogen spectra evolved from Type 316L and 304 stainless steels during elastic and plastic deformation were detected using a quadrupole mass spectrometer. The amount of lattice defect enhanced by hydrogen and strain was measured using thermal desorption analysis. For 316L stainless steel, hydrogen desorption increased rapidly when plastic deformation began, since the dislocation dragged hydrogen to the surface of the specimen. In contrast, hydrogen desorption increased with applying strain for 304 stainless steel, because of phase transformation from austenite into martensite with larger hydrogen diffusivity. And the amount of desorbed hydrogen increased with decreasing strain rate. These results indicate that dislocation can drag and transport large amounts of hydrogen when the dislocation velocity approaches the hydrogen diffusion rate. The amount of lattice defects in stainless steels was enhanced by hydrogen and applied strain. The most probable reason for the increase in the amount of lattice defects can be ascribed to the increase in the amount of vacancy clusters. These findings lead to the conclusion that the interaction between dislocation and hydrogen enhances the formation of vacancy clusters, as a result, causes hydrogen embrittlement.
