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 this paper we develop a link between the atomic-level modeling of the glide of 1/2<111> screw dislocations at 0 K and the thermally activated motion of these dislocations via nucleation of pairs of kinks. For this purpose, we introduce…

Owing to their non-planar cores 1/2<111> screw dislocations govern the plastic deformation of BCC metals. Atomistic studies of the glide of these dislocations at 0 K have been performed using Bond Order Potentials for molybdenum and…

The stability of the perfect screw dislocation in silicon has been investigated using both classical potentials and first-principles calculations. Although a recent study by Koizumi et al . stated that the stable screw dislocation was…

Strain hardening is a key feature observed in many rocks deformed in the so-called ``semi-brittle'' regime, where both crystal plastic and brittle deformation mechanisms operate. Dislocation storage has long been recognised as a major…

Theoretical calculations of the structure, formation and migration of kinks on a non-dissociated screw dislocation in silicon have been carried out using density functional theory calculations as well as calculations based on interatomic…

The ability of a body-centered cubic metal to deform plastically is limited by the thermally activated glide motion of screw dislocations, which are line defects with a mobility exhibiting complex dependence on temperature, stress, and…

In general, the cross-slip of superdislocations (a/2<011>) from {111} planes to {001} planes has been frequently observed in superalloys, accompanied by the formation of an antiphase boundary (APB) and driven by thermal activation. However,…

Two-dimensional simulations of the coarsening process of the isotropic/smectic-A phase transition are presented using a high-order Landau-de Gennes type free energy model. Defect annihilation laws for smectic disclinations, elementary…

The effects of dislocation climb on plastic deformation during loading and unloading are studied using a two-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics model. Simulations are performed for polycrystalline thin films passivated on both…

Plasticity in hexagonal close packed (HCP) metals and alloys such as Titanium (Ti) and Zirconium (Zr) is carried out by the motion of $\langle a \rangle$ dislocations. Above room temperature, in situ transmission electron microscopy…

Scanning tunneling microscopy is the method of choice for characterizing charge density waves by imaging the variation in atomic-scale contrast of the surface. Due to the measurement principle of scanning tunneling microscopy, the…

The role of a simple surface defect, such as a step, for relaxing the stress applied to a semiconductor, has been investigated by means of large scale first principles calculations. Our results indicate that the step is the privileged site…

We present a surface stacking fault (SSF) energy approach to predicting defect nucleation from the surfaces of surface-dominated nanostructure such as FCC metal nanowires. The approach leads to a criteria that predicts the initial yield…

A model based on dislocation glide controlled by the nucleation and propagation of kink pairs in a high Peierls stress crystal is revisited and modified to account for changes in dislocation densities and segment lengths with temperature…

Interactions among dislocations and solute atoms are the basis of several important processes in metals plasticity. In body-centered cubic (bcc) metals and alloys, low-temperature plastic flow is controlled by screw dislocation glide, which…

A number of recent Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations have demonstrated that screw dislocations in face centered cubic (fcc) metals can achieve stable steady state motion above the lowest shear wave speed ($v_\text{shear}$) which is…

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to investigate the influence of mechanical strain on irradiation-induced defect and dislocation evolution in nickel single crystals subjected to cumulative overlapping 5 keV collision…

This paper proposes a systematic generalized formulation for calculating both atomic shuffling and shear candidates for a given compound twinning mode in hexagonal closed-packed metals. Although shuffles play an important role in the…

Superconducting single quantum logic integrated circuits traditionally exploit magnetron sputtered niobium thin films on silicon oxide substrates. The sputtering depends on multiple process parameters, which dramatically affect mechanical,…
