Spontaneous migration of liquid inclusions in an irradiated crystal
A spontaneous random walk of liquid inclusions has been observed in a crystal with a uniform distribution of radiation defects. An explanation is offered for the motion itself and for the fact that its direction is random. The thermodynamic basis for the observed effect is a decrease in the defectiveness of a crystal as inclusions move in it.
