Triple-defect formation in B2-ordered binary A-B intermetallic compounds results fromthe asymmetry between the formation energies of A- and B-antisite defects. Chemical disorderingin such systems is strictly correlated with vacancy formation, which is the reason for usually veryhigh vacancy concentration. Consequently, Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulation of processes occurringin the triple-defect systems and controlled by atomic migration via vacancy mechanism mustinvolve complete vacancy thermodynamics – i.e. the simulated system must contain the equilibriumtemperature-dependent number of vacancies. The fully consistent approach based on two differentMonte Carlo techniques has been applied in the present study. The AB intermetallic was modelled withan Ising-type Hamiltonian and KMC simulated for “order-order” kinetics with temperature-dependentequilibrium number of vacancies previously determined by means of Semi Grand Canonical MonteCarlo (SGCMC) simulations. The procedure required in addition the determination of saddle -pointenergies assigned to particular atomic jumps to nn vacancies. Their values were estimated in relationto the nn pair-interaction energies with reference to Molecular Statics simulations performed for NiAlsystem with EAM energetics. The results elucidated the role of triple-defect formation as the atomisticscaleorigin of the experimentally observed surprisingly low rate of the “order-order” kinetics in bulkNiAl. |
