Abstract
We apply atomistic simulations using the so called ‘metallic-covalent bonding’ interatomic model for the Fe–C system to study mobility of interstitial dislocation loops, known to form in Fe and Fe-based ferritic alloys under irradiation, and their interaction with Carbon atoms. Carbon atoms represent an
effective trap for the loops with a binding energy of the order of 1 eV. The mobility of the loops is studied using the dislocation – loop drag model. From this model the activation parameters are identified and discussed.
