摘要: Abstract The kinetics of phase transformation under irradiation magnesium aluminate spinel MgAl2O4 has been investigated by means continuous Frenkel pair introduction in the framework empirical potential molecular dynamics simulations. Phase to defective rock-salt structure was observed with a cation displacement dose rate 5 × 108 dpc/s (dpc: displacements per cation) at temperatures ranging from 30 2200 K. critical for is range 0.5–2.5 dpc, and it prolonged increasing temperature. No amorphization realized simulations 30 K up 68 dpc an accelerated 5 × 109 dpc/s.
