The ground state energy, spin-wave energy, and sublattice magnetization have been calculated for a Heisenberg antiferromagnet at the absolute zero of temperature. The treatment extends the earlier work of Anderson, Kubo, and Oguchi to apply for any two-sublattice antiferromagnet with arbitrary range of interaction. It is shown that for each exchange interaction there is a different characteristic correction term to the energies. Explicit calculations are made of these terms for the simple cubic, body-centered cubic, and face-centered cubic lattices, with both first- and second-neighbor interactions. Applications are also made to NiO and MnO. An extra term in the magnetization series beyond that given by earlier workers is derived.

AbstractRandom walks and reactions of point defects in face-centered cubic lattices have been simulated by means of a Monte-Carlo method described in the preceding paper (I) . In this paper the method is applied to the recombination of vacancies and interstitials. Equal or different numbers as well as random or correlated initial distribution of vacancies and interstitials are considered. The inter­ action between the defects is taken into account by a model for the pair volume surrounding a vacancy.

A new computer program has been developed for the simulation of local atomic displacements in alloys with face-centered-cubic and body-centered-cubic lattices. The combined use of this program with the Gehlen–Cohen program for the simulation of chemical short-range order completely describes atomic fluctuations in alloys. The method has been applied to the structural simulation of Guinier–Preston (GP) zones in an Al–Cu alloy, using the experimental data of Matsubara & Cohen [Acta Metall. (1985), 33, 1945–1955]. Characteristic displacements of atoms have been observed around the GP zones and new structural models including local displacements have been proposed for a single-layer zone and several multilayer zones.

Recent studies have shown the presence of voids in several face-centered cubic metals after neutron irradiation at elevated temperatures. These voids were found when the irradiation temperature was above 0.3 Tm where Tm is the absolute melting point, and were ascribed to the agglomeration of lattice vacancies resulting from fast neutron generated displacement cascades. The present paper reports the existence of similar voids in the body-centered cubic metals tungsten and molybdenum.

Recently, the irradiation behaviors of multi-component alloys have stimulated an increasing interest due to their ability to suppress the growth of irradiation defects, though the mostly studied alloys are limited to face centered cubic (fcc) structured multi-component alloys. In this work, two single-phase body centered cubic (bcc) structured multi-component alloys (CrFeV, AlCrFeV) with different lattice distortions were prepared by vacuum arc melting, and the reference of α-Fe was also prepared. After 6 MeV Au ions irradiation to over 100 dpa (displacement per atom) at 500 °C, the bcc structured CrFeV and AlCrFeV exhibited significantly improved irradiation swelling resistance compared to α-Fe, especially AlCrFeV. The AlCrFeV alloy possesses superior swelling resistance, showing no voids compared to α-Fe and CrFeV alloy, and scarce irradiation softening appears in AlCrFeV. Owing to their chemical complexity, it is believed that the multi-component alloys under irradiation have more defect recombination and less damage accumulation. Accordingly, we discuss the origin of irradiation resistance and the Al effect in the studied bcc structured multi-component alloys.
