Interface Effects on Screw Dislocations in Heterostructures

چکیده
The governing equation of screw dislocations in heterostructures is constructed using image method. The interface type (−1 ≤ γ ≤ 1) and distance between dislocation and interface h are considered in the new equation. The Peierls–Nabarro equations for screw dislocations in bulk and semi-infinite materials can be recovered when γ = 0 and γ = −1. The soft (γ < 0) and hard (γ > 0) interfaces can enhance and reduce the Peierls stress of screw dislocations near the interface, respectively. The interface effects on dislocations decrease with the increasing of distance h. The Al/TiC heterostructure is investigated as a model interface to study the unstable stacking fault energy and dislocation properties of the interface. The mismatch of lattice constants and shear modulus at the interface results in changes of the unstable stacking fault energy. Then, the changes of the unstable stacking fault energy also have an important effect on dislocation properties, comparing with γ and h.

Pileups of screw dislocations against an inclined bimetallic interface are considered. It is assumed that differently oriented pileups are either under the same remote uniform loading, or under the same resolved shear stress along the pileup direction for any orientation of the interface. The distributions of dislocations and the lengths of pileups are substantially different for differently or...
