Interstitial and Vacancy Distributions in a Simple Model of Radiation Damage

Abstract

The spatial distribution of vacancies and interstitials in a displacement cascade is investigated in the Kinchin‐Pease model of radiation damage. The one‐dimensional defect equations are solved in an infinite medium and a half space. The numerical results illustrate the different spatial behaviour of the defect types, and the effect of the free boundary can be assessed. Copyright © 1981 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA
