Description: We use ab initio and classical molecular dynamics (AIMD and CMD) based on the modified embedded-atom method (MEAM) potential to simulate diffusion of N vacancy and N self-interstitial point defects in B1 TiN. TiN MEAM parameters are optimized to obtain CMD nitrogen point-defect jump rates in agreement with AIMD predictions, as well as an excellent description of TiNx (∼0.7 < x 1) elastic, thermal, and structural properties. We determine N dilute-point-defect diffusion pathways, activation energies, attempt frequencies, and diffusion coefficients as a function of temperature. In addition, the MD simulations presented in this paper reveal an unanticipated atomistic process, which controls the spontaneous formation of N self-interstitial/N vacancy (NI/NV) pairs (Frenkel pairs), in defect-free TiN. This entails that the N lattice atom leaves its bulk position and bonds to a neighboring N lattice atom. In most cases, Frenkel-pair NI and NV recombine within a fraction of ns; ∼50% of these processes result in the exchange of two nitrogen lattice atoms (N−NExc). Occasionally, however, Frenkel-pair N-interstitial atoms permanently escape from the anion vacancy site, thus producing unpaired NI and NV point defects.
