The mechanism of nucleation of unfaulted vacancy loops (VL) with Burgers vector b = 〈100〉 in bcc-metals is suggested. The mechanism takes into account the experimental fact that the nucleation of such loops takes place exclusively in the cascade region of damage. In substantiating the ...
I. Theoretical predictions for edge dislocation loops in a BCC crystal images are possible for this simple elastic defect model but that useful image classifications can be made in terms of modulus g.b where g is the reciprocal lattice vector of the operating reflection and b the dislocation ...

They are also major sources of...
The interstitial loop is a unique signature of radiation damage in structural materials for nuclear and other advanced energy systems. Unlike other bcc metals, two types of interstitial loops, 1/2111 and 100, are formed in bcc iron and its alloys. However, the mechanism by which 100 ...
