Abstract

A manifestation of antisite defects created by nuclear irradiation in binary ordered alloys is investigated. Calculations show that the concentration of such defects can be large at typical values of intensity of irradiation and temperature. The appearance of structural defects can cause the time and space instabilities in crystal during irradiation. Time instabilities are connected with the acceleration of antisite defect relaxation due to the heat that is released during this relaxation. The instability leads to appearance of self-oscillations of defect density and temperature of crystal. Space instability arises due to interaction between defects created by irradiation. It leads to spatial periodical modulation of antisite defect density.
