Résumé : |
Self- and impurity diffusivities in body-centered-cubic (bcc) iron have been calculated within the formalisms of harmonic transition-state theory and the Le Claire nine-frequency model for vacancy-mediated diffusion. The approach combines first-principles calculations of vacancy formation, migration, and solute-binding enthalpies and entropies in the ferromagnetic phase, with an empirical relationship for the effect of magnetic disorder on diffusion activation energies. Calculated Fe self-diffusion and Mo and W impurity-diffusion coefficients are shown to agree within a factor of five with the most recent experimental measurements in both the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases. Calculated diffusion coefficients for Mo and W impurities are comparable to or larger than that for Fe self-diffusion at all temperatures below the α–γ phase transition. Calculated activation energies for Ta and Hf impurities suggest that these solutes should also display impurity-diffusion coefficients larger than that for self-diffusion in body-centered cubic Fe. |
