G. Simonelli et al., A MODEL BCC IRON INCLUDING ANGULAR INTERACTIONS - THE SELF-INTERSTITIAL, Physica status solidi. b, Basic research, 191(2), 1995, pp. 249-266
Self-interstitial configurations in Fe are simulated using an embedded
-atom-method (EAM) interatomic potential and an embedded-defect (ED) o
ne recently developed by the authors. The latter potential includes an
gular-dependent many-body local terms. Formation energy and lattice di
stortion for the [110] and [111] oriented dumbbells are calculated. Th
e relative contributions of the pair and many-body interaction terms t
o these properties are discussed. Comparisons with other many-body pot
entials from the literature are made.
