摘要:

以前的模拟和实验研究表明,一些晶界(GB)可以耦合到所施加的剪切应力,并被他们移动,产生剪切变形的晶格穿过他们的运动。虽然这种耦合效应已被证实为对称倾斜的GB,鲜为人知的是不对称边界的耦合能力。在这项工作中,我们采用了结合分子动力学和相场晶体模拟研究应力驱动的运动在整个范围内的倾斜角的立方晶体之间的不对称GB。我们的主要研究结果是,耦合效应存在于大多数的非对称GB和耦合因子表现出非平凡的依赖于两个取向差和倾角。这种依赖性的特征在于耦合因子的符号的不连续变化,其反映了在窄角度范围内两种不同耦合模式之间的过渡。重要的是,耦合因子的大小在该过渡区域内变得很大或发散,从而引起类似滑动的行为。我们的研究结果解释在一个图表中呈现的两个耦合模式和它们之间的过渡区的平面中的取向差和倾角的存在域。模拟揭示了一些位错机制负责的不对称倾斜GB的运动。本研究的结果与现有的实验测量相比,并为未来的实验设计提供了理论依据。

英文摘要:

Previous simulation and experimental studies have shown that some grain boundaries (GBs) can couple to applied shear stresses and be moved by them, producing shear deformation of the lattice traversed by their motion. While this coupling effect has been well confirmed for symmetrical tilt GBs, little is known about the coupling ability of asymmetrical boundaries. In this work we apply a combination of molecular dynamics and phase field crystal simulations to investigate stress-driven motion of asymmetrical GBs between cubic crystals over the entire range of inclination angles. Our main findings are that the coupling effect exists for most of the asymmetrical GBs and that the coupling factor exhibits a non-trivial dependence on both the misorientation and inclination angles. This dependence is characterized by a discontinuous change of sign of the coupling factor, which reflects a transition between two different coupling modes over a narrow range of angles. Importantly, the magnitude of the coupling factor becomes large or divergent within this transition region, thereby giving rise to a sliding-like behavior. Our results are interpreted in terms of a diagram presenting the domains of existence of the two coupling modes and the transition region between them in the plane of misorientation and inclination angles. The simulations reveal some of the dislocation mechanisms responsible for the motion of asymmetrical tilt GBs. The results of this study compare favorably with existing experimental measurements and provide a theoretical ground for the design of future experiments.
