Effect of radiation damage on liquid Pb corrosion at the Fe/Pb solid-liquid interface
Source abstract
Abstract
The interaction between liquid Pb and irradiation defects at structural materials/liquid metal interface is fundamental to understand the irradiation-enhanced corrosion of structure materials in nuclear system. The primary damage to iron surfaces and the density profiles, lateral structure, and interfacial diffusion profiles of the irradiated Fe/Pb solid-liquid interfaces are investigated using the molecular dynamics method. We find that the vacancy clusters predominate on the surfaces, and the vacancy loops emerge under Fe(110) surface with higher probability compared with Fe(100) surface under Fe particle irradiation. The liquid Pb could accelerate the migration of irradiation damages, mainly the vacancies, to the surface. Those vacancies could promote the corrosion of Pb on the Fe surface in turn by combining with Pb atoms. The Pb atoms near the interface exhibit a two-dimensional diffusion mechanism and anisotropy in the transport properties due to the different structural symmetry of the Fe/Pb interfaces.
