The evolution of the defect microstructure in materials at high temperature is dominated by diffusion-mediated interactions between dislocations, vacancy clusters and surfaces. This gives rise to complex non-linear couplings between interstitial and vacancy-type dislocation loops, cavities and the field of diffusing vacancies that adiabatically …

To design efficient thermal recovery procedures for structural materials in fusion energy applications it is important to characterise quantitatively the annealing timescales of radiation-induced defect clusters. With this goal in mind, we present an extension of the Greens function formulation of Gu et al. [1] for the climb of curved dislocation…
