Effect of Vacancy Distributions Caused by Elastic Interaction on the Growth of Guinier‐Preston Zones

摘要

The effect of elastic interaction on the distribution of vacancies around Guinier‐Preston zones of the first kind (GP [1]) is investigated. The elastic interaction between a small disk‐shaped GP [1] zone and an initially uniform distribution of quenched‐in vacancies causes the rapid formation of a vacancy atmosphere surrounding the zone. This atmosphere has an appreciable effect on the early rate of growth of the zone.
