Abstract Precipitates play an important role in the evolution of irradiation-induced defects and mechanical property
of irradiated metals. In this work, the effects of a Zr2Cu precipitate on the production and subsequent
evolution of cascade-induced point defects (vacancies and interstitials) in ZrCu alloy were investigated by
molecular dynamics simulations at room temperature. The simulation results show that the precipitate
increases the number of residual point defects at the end of cascade. However, most of the residual defects
reside in the precipitate and near precipitate boundary. In the matrix, more interstitials survive than
vacancies. In addition, a defect-free region is seen in… More >
