## Abstract

Neutron irradiation tends to promote disorder in ordered alloys through the action of the thermal spikes that it generates, while simultaneously introducing point defects and defect clusters. As they migrate, these point defects will promote reordering of the alloys, acting against irradiation-induced disordering. In this study, classical molecular dynamics and a highly parallel accelerated sampling method are used to study the reordering kinetics of Ni$\_3$Al under the diffusion of self-interstitial atoms (SIA). By monitoring the order parameter and potential energy from atomistic simulations, we show that the SIA acts as a reordering agent in Ni$\_3$Al. A mean-field rate theory model of the interstitialcy-based reordering kinetics is introduced, which reproduces simulation data and predicts reordering at temperatures as low as 500 K.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
