Helium ions implanted into metals can form ordered bubbles that are isomorphic to the host lattice. While long-range elastic interactions are generally believed to drive bubble superlattice formation, the interactions between individual helium solutes are not yet fully understood. Our first-principles calculations reveal that in molybdenum, Friedel oscillations induced by individual helium atoms generate potential barriers and wells that influence helium pairing and clustering at short He-He distances. These repulsive and attractive interactions at high concentrations provide thermodynamic driving forces that align randomly distributed helium atoms into Mo-He superlattices. Friedel oscillations may have broad impacts on solute–solute interactions in alloys. |
