The N-body interatomic potential for molecular dynamics simulations of diffusion in tungsten

Tungsten, as the most refractory metal, is applied in fusion reactor in parts subjected to high temperatures and strong neutron irradiation. These factors lead to intense diffusion processes causing degradation of the material. The calculated diffusion coefficient demonstrates adequate agreement with experimental results. The constructed potential is applicable for simulation of processes involving diffusion, one of which is the irradiation damag
