Dislocation Kink Dynamics in Crystals with Deep Peierls Potential Relief
نویسندگان
چکیده
Processes of the nucleation and motion of kinks, determining the dislocation mobilities in crystals with high Peierls barriers, are reviewed. Various mechanisms of an influence of point defects on the kink dynamics are analyzed. To demonstrate these mechanisms experimental data are presented obtained with two-level intermittent loading of Si, Ge, and bulk SiGe alloy single crystals. The instability of a dislocation glide in SiGe crystals has been discovered, and modes are revealed of the linear and nonlinear kink drift. The experimental data are analyzed in the framework of models, considering the interaction of point defects with a dislocation and a kink.

Singular orientations and faceted motion of dislocations in body-centered cubic crystals.
Dislocation mobility is a fundamental material property that controls strength and ductility of crystals. An important measure of dislocation mobility is its Peierls stress, i.e., the minimal stress required to move a dislocation at zero temperature. Here we report that, in the body-centered cubic metal tantalum, the Peierls stress as a function of dislocation orientation exhibits fine structur...
متن کاملKinetic Monte Carlo method for dislocation migration in the presence of solute
We present a kinetic Monte Carlo method for simulating dislocation motion in alloys within the framework of the kink model. The model considers the glide of a dislocation in a static, three-dimensional solute atom atmosphere. It includes both a description of the short-range interaction between a dislocation core and the solute and long-range solute-dislocation interactions arising from the int...
متن کاملDislocation dynamics in crystals: A macroscopic theory in a fractional Laplace setting
We consider an evolution equation arising in the Peierls–Nabarro model for crystal dislocation. We study the evolution of such dislocation function and show that, at a macroscopic scale, the dislocations have the tendency to concentrate at single points of the crystal, where the size of the slip coincides with the natural periodicity of the medium. these dislocation points evolve according to t...

Mesoscale objects with unusual structural features may serve as the analogues of atoms in the design of larger-scale materials with novel optical, electronic or mechanical behaviour. In this paper we investigate the structural features and the equilibrium dynamics of micrometre-scale spherical crystals formed by polystyrene particles adsorbed on the surface of a spherical water droplet. The gro...
