Based on the density functional theory, we calculated the structures of the two main possible self-interstitial atoms(SIAs) as well as the migration energy of tungsten(W) atoms. It was found that the difference of the <110> and <111> formation energies is 0.05–0.3 e V. Further analysis indicated that the stability of SIAs is closely related to the concentration of the defect. When the concentration of the point defect is high, <110> SIAs are more likely to exist, <111> SIAs are the opposite. In addition, the vacancy migration probability and self-recovery zones for these SIAs were researched by making a detailed comparison. The calculation provided a new viewpoint about the stability of point defects for selfinterstitial configurations and would benefit the understanding of the control mechanism of defect behavior for this novel fusion material.
