Stacking faults in γ-alumina

Stacking faults and partial dislocations in graphene

We investigate two mechanisms of crystallographic slip in graphene, corresponding to glide and shuffle generalized stacking faults (GSF), and compute their -curves using Sandia National Laboratories Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS). We find evidence of metastable partial dislocations for the glide GSF only. The computed values of the stable and unstable stackin...

Stacking Faults in Co-Alloy Longitudinal Media

Stacking faults in CoCrTa/Cr, CoCrPt/NiAl, and CoCrPt/Cr/NiAl films have been studied by electron diffraction. Interfacial lattice match and epitaxial growth play important roles in reducing the stacking fault density. It is found that the bicrystal media has large stacking fault densities. In the unicrystal media case, when good epitaxy between magnetic layer and underlayer cannot be achieved,...

On the energy of terminated stacking faults

The equilibrium of dissociated dislocations is discussed in terms of intrinsic material properties such as the ideal stacking fault energy (ideal SFE) and the stacking fault (SF) strain. The ideal SFE is de® ned as the energy per unit area of an in® nitely extendedSF in an ideal in® nite crystal. The e€ ective SFE is de® ned as the energy per unit area of a terminated SF. The terminated SF is a...

Stacking faults and superstructures in a layered brownmillerite

Single crystals of Ca(4)Fe(2)Mn(0.5)Ti(0.5)O(9) have been synthesized using a flux method. The structural characterization using single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed the space group Amma and unit-cell dimensions of a = 5.3510 (6), b = 26.669 (3), c = 5.4914 (6) Å. The structure is isotypic with Sr(3)NdFe(3)O(9) [Barrier et al. (2005). Chem. Mater. 17, 6619-6623] and exhibits separated brow...
