Electronic Effects on Grain Boundary Structure in BCC Metals
The dominant factor in determining the atomic structure of grain boundaries is the crystal structure of the material, e.g. FCC vs. BCC. However, for a given crystal structure, the structure of grain boundaries can be influenced by electronic effects, i.e. by the element comprising the crystal. Understanding and modeling the influence of electronic structure on defect structures is a key ingredi...
متن کاملEffect of the local environment on the mobility of dislocations in refractory bcc metals: Concurrent multiscale approach
Using a concurrent multiscale approach we demonstrate that the local environment of transition-metal solutes in refractory bcc metals has a large effect on the mobility and slip paths of dislocation. The results reveal that solid solutes or nanoclusters of different geometries may lead to solid-solution hardening or softening, in agreement with experiment, including spontaneous dislocation glid...
متن کاملStacking - fault energies in simple metals : applications to BCC metals
We present a general method for calculating the stacking-fault energy in simple metals, and then we apply this to the ( 1 1 2 ) faults in body-centred cubic (BCC) metals. Our method contains no approximations for a given wavenumber characteristic (or equivalently the pair potential). Our results show that metastable faults do indeed exist in the simple BCC metals (Li, Na. K, Rb, Cs, Ca. Sr, Ba)...
متن کاملCascade morphology transition in bcc metals.
Energetic atom collisions in solids induce shockwaves with complex morphologies. In this paper, we establish the existence of a morphological transition in such cascades. The order parameter of the morphology is defined as the exponent, b, in the defect production curve as a function of cascade energy (N(F) ~ E(MD)(b)). Response of different bcc metals can be compared in a consistent energy dom...
متن کاملAb initio calculations of the melting temperatures of refractory bcc metals.
We present ab initio calculations of the melting temperatures for bcc metals Nb, Ta and W. The calculations combine phase coexistence molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using classical embedded-atom method potentials and ab initio density functional theory free energy corrections. The calculated melting temperatures for Nb, Ta and W are, respectively, within 3%, 4%, and 7% of the experimental ...
