English abstract:
Trapping of interstitial (e.g. carbon) atoms is driven by the reduction in energy
in the system. Diffusion of interstitials, together with their trapping in
dislocation cores and/or grain boundaries, is studied by the thermodynamic
extremal principle. In addition to the total Gibbs energy, a well-established
formulation of the total dissipation is applied. Dimension-free evolution
equations are derived, whose solution is well approximated by an easy to handle
kinetic equation. Cottrellīs power law can be verified in the initial stage.
