Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The energetic characteristics of self and impurity interstitial Al atom migration in unstressed α-Fe and in stress gradients are studied by a computer simulation method. The stress gradient effect displays itself in the fact that the energetic barriers against interstitial migration along the stress gradient are lower than those opposite to it. The migration energy of the Al atom of an FeAl dumbbell is considerably lower than that of the Fe atom in the same dumbbell; it means that Al atom serve as impurity traps for self-interstitials in α-Fe. At large values of the stress gradient the spontaneous migration of the Al atoms from the mixed dumbbells is possible.
