Extract

Prediction of transient enhanced diffusion (TED) requires modeling of extended defects of many types, such as {311} defects, dislocation loops, boron-interstitial clusters, arsenic precipitates, etc. These extended defects not only form individually, but they also interact with each other through changes in point defect and solute concentrations. We have developed a fundamental model which can account for the behavior of a broad range of extended defects, as well as their interactions with each other. We have successfully applied and parameterized our model to a range of systems and conditions, some of which are presented in this paper.
