Diffusion and defect interactions in the γ/γ’ microstructure (C02)

• Subject Area: Thermodynamics and Kinetics as well as Properties of Phases and Microstructure of Materials
• Term: from 2012 to 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 190389738

In the third funding period of the SFB/TR103 project C2 focusses on elemental diffusion processes within the γ/γ’-microstructure. The energetics of these processes are obtained from electronic structure calculations and are subsequently used as input to atomistic scale kinetic simulations. From these simulations macroscopic properties, such as diffusion coefficients or segregation profiles, can be extracted.
