Plasticity in zirconium is controlled by 1/3<1-210> screw dislocations gliding in the prism planes of the hexagonal close-packed structure. This prismatic and not basal glide is observed for a given set of transition metals like zirconium…

We elucidated the core structure of screw dislocations in ordered B2 FeCo using a recent magnetic bond-order potential (BOP) [Egorov et al., Phys. Rev. Mater. 7, 044403 (2023)]. We corroborated that dislocations in B2 FeCo exist in pairs…

Plasticity in hexagonal close-packed zirconium is controlled by screw dislocations which easily glide in the prismatic planes where they are dissociated. At high enough temperatures, these dislocations can deviate out of the prism planes to…
In linearised continuum elasticity, the elastic strain due to a straight dislocation line decays as $O(r^{-1})$, where $r$ denotes the distance to the defect core. It is shown in Ehrlacher, Ortner, Shapeev (2016) that the core correction…
