Ab Initio Calculations of Kinetic Properties in ZrC and TiC Carbides

Article Preview

Abstract:

Self-diffusion of the metal and carbon atoms in TiC and ZrC carbides is studied by first principles methods. Our calculations yield point defects energies, vacancy jump barriers and diffusion pre-factors in TiC and ZrC. The results are in reasonable agreement with the available experimental data and suggest that the self-diffusion mechanism for metal atoms in these carbides may involve nearest-neighbor vacancy pairs (one metal and one carbon vacancy).
