Motivated by a grain boundary (GB) healing mechanism that GB turns into a mobile sink through migration to eliminate the vacancies in a bulk, we have further investigated the influence of the retained hydrogen (H) on the GB migration in tungsten using a molecular dynamics simulation. We show that H hinders the GB migration at different H concentrations and temperatures, and such friction of GB migration due to the presence of H increases with the H concentration and decreases with temperature. We demonstrate that H follows the GB-migration as the temperature is higher than 300 K. Most importantly, the presence of H induces a disordering of GB, which affects the GB migration significantly. tungsten grain boundary, hydrogen, migration, molecular dynamics, disordering PACS number(s): 28.52.Fa, 61.72.Mm, 61.82.Bg, 31.15.Qg Citation: Yu Y, Shu X L, Liu Y N, et al.
