Simulations of the atomic structure, energetics, and cross slip of screw dislocations in copper

Abstract: Using nanoscale atomistic simulations it has been possible to address the problem of cross slip of a dissociated screw dislocation in an fcc metal ͑Cu͒ by a method not suffering from the limitations imposed by elasticity theory. The focus has been on different dislocation configurations relevant for cross slip via the Friedel-Escaig ͑FE͒ cross-slip mechanism. The stress free cross-slip activation energy and activation length for this mechanism are determined. We show that the two constrictions necessary for cr… Show more

“…One can speculate that an alternative cross-slip mechanism could be cross slip of a screw dislocation terminated at a free surface, initiated by the formation of a screwlike constriction at the free surface. Such a cross-slip event has been observed in simulations, but the energy barrier for this process is at present not known [9].…”

“…Several possible mechanisms have been proposed for the thermally activated cross slip [1][2][3][4][5], and recently the model proposed by Friedel [2] and Escaig [5] (FE) has been treated with linear elasticity theory [6,7]. During the cross-slip process the dislocation cores overlap, and the estimates of the activation energy vary appreciably depending on the cut-off procedures at the dislocation cores [6,8,9].…”

“…This requires a description at the atomistic scale to capture the displacement field in this extended core. 11 Secondly, two types of anisotropic effects should be considered here, the anisotropy of the elastic constants leading to an angular dependence of the shear modulus in the cross-section plane and the anisotropy due to the shape of the wire. Finally, the influence of the surface stress on the boundary conditions should be also quantified in such a study where the nanowires have radii in the 10-nm range.…”
