Abstract:Atomistic simulation of powellite crystals has been carried out. A system of parameters of interatomic potentials is proposed for the calculation of point defects in powellite. The formation energies of intrinsic defects and their clusters, which are spatially related combinations of defects, are estimated. The most favorable localization of interstitial calcium and oxygen ions was determined. The formation energies of the Frenkel and Schottky defects are calculated. It was shown that the most energetically pr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
