Calculated electromigration wind force in face-centered-cubic and body-centered-cubic metals

Abstract

The wind force has been calculated for most of the face-centered-cubic and body-centered-cubic metals of the Periodic Table. Both self-electromigration and impurity migration have been considered. The migration has been treated as the motion of an atom to a neighboring vacancy. The calculations are done using a state-of-the-art code for the electronic structure of a dilute alloy.
