Theory of solute clustering in materials for atom probe

Journal article

Pseudo-binary solute clustering in crystals was modelled analytically using expressions for the site-occupation probabilities that depend on solute concentration, crystallography and nearest-neighbour short-range order. Up to a cluster-size of 10 solute atoms, theoretical random and nonrandom cluster-size distributions were calculated for diamond (Si), simple (Mn), body centred (Fe) and face centred (Al) cubic lattices and the hexagonal close-packed (Mg) lattice. These calculations were then ...
