Hydrogen-induced change in core structures of {110}[111] edge and {110}[111] screw dislocations in iron

چکیده
Employing the empirical embedded-atom method potentials, the evolution of edge and screw dislocation core structure is calculated at different hydrogen concentrations. With hydrogen, the core energy and Peierls potential are reduced for all dislocations. A broaden-core and a quasi-split core structure are observed for edge and screw dislocation respectively. The screw dislocation and hydrogen interaction in body-centred cubic iron is found to be not mainly due to the change of elastic modulus, but the variation of dislocation core structure.

Anomalous bias factors of dislocations in bcc iron
Dislocation bias factors in bcc Fe have been calculated based on atomistic interaction energy maps on three kinds of dislocations, namely the a0/2〈111〉{110} screw, a0/2〈111〉{110} and a0〈100〉{001} edge dislocations. The results show that the dislocation bias is higher for the a0/2〈111〉 edge dislocation than for the a0〈100〉 edge dislocation, even though the latter possesses a larger Burgers vecto...

Predicting atomistic properties of a dislocation is a first step toward an understanding of plastic behavior of materials, in particular BCC metals. The core structure and Peierls stress of a screw dislocation in BCC iron have been determined using the first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory with the large-scale supercell containing 231 atoms. For the a0/2[111] scre...

Predicting atomistic properties of a dislocation is a first step toward an understanding of plastic behavior of materials, in particular BCC metals. The core structure and Peierls stress of a screw dislocation in BCC metals have been studied over the years using the first-principles and empirical methods, however, their conclusions vary due to the inefficiency of the methods. We have executed f...

Using QM-Sutton-Chen many-body potential, we have studied the 1⁄2a<110> screw dislocation in nickel (Ni) via Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. We have studied core energy and structure using a quadrupolar dislocation system with 3-D periodic boundary conditions. The relaxed structures show dissociation into two partials on {111} planes. The equilibrium separation distance between the two par...
متن کاملCore structure of screw dislocations in body-centred cubic metals: relation to symmetry and interatomic bonding
In this paper we discuss both the crystallographic aspects that govern the general features of the cores of 1 2 h111i screw dislocations in bcc metals and the role of interatomic bonding that is specific to given materials. This analysis is carried out by comparing the results of two atomistic calculations of dislocations in molybdenum, one performed using many-body central force potentials and...
