A non-analyticity of the Fourier components, ˜Vvv(k), of the inherently anisotropic, long-range and quasi-oscillating ‘strain-induced’ v—v-interaction energies, Vvv(r), dependent on distances {r} between vacancies in their solid solution based on finite b.c.c. crystal (for example, b.c.c.-Mo, Nb, W) is considered with regard for its discrete structure and elastic anisotropy. Interactions of point defects are studied by means of the lattice statics method within the scope of the quasi-harmonic approximation. The numerical and analytical calculations of energy parameters for ‘strain-induced’ and ‘electrochemical’ interactions of vacancies within the b.c.c. crystal (for example, b.c.c.-Mo, Nb, W) are carried out. Their behaviour near and far from the centre of the b.c.c.-lattice reciprocal-space Brillouin zone (particularly, on its surface) is studied. Within the long-wave approximation (k≅0), anisotropic expansion coefficients, Avv(n), Bvv(n), for the Fourier components, Qvv+Avv(n)+Bvv(n)k2 (n≡k/k), of the ‘strain-induced’ v—v interaction energies near the centre (k=0) of Brillouin zone are defined, in particular, depending on the elasticity modules of b.c.c. crystal. As revealed, Bvv(n)≥0 along the high-symmetry [100], [110], [111] directions in reciprocal space for b.c.c. crystal (irrespective of its elastic-anisotropy factor sign), and as always, Vvv(0)<Qvv+Avv(n).
Key words: vacancies, ‘strain-induced’ interaction, ‘electrochemical’ interaction, dispersion curve, non-analyticity of dependence, long-wave approximation.
