Formation and dynamics of defects in pure and ion implanted a-titanium studied by quantum simulations
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 123-136). === Density-functional theory calculations have been performed to study energetics of defects formation and diffusion in pure and krypton implanted hexagonal closed-packed (h.c.p) titanium. We employed the ab initio electronic structure calculati...
