Simulation of Dislocation Dynamics in Copper

Search this article

Description

Atomistic configuration and motion of dislocation have been simulated by means of molecular dynamics method. The embedded atom method potential for copper is adopted in the simulation. Model crystal is a rectangular solid containing about 140,000 atoms. An edge dislocation is introduced along [112] direction near the centre of model crystal, and the system is relaxed. After the dislocation configuration is stabilized, a shear stress is applied and released. Wavy motion of dislocations is developed on the Peierls valleys when the free boundary condition is adopted. Propagation of phonon and dislocation-phonon interaction in the crystal are also simulated.
