摘要:

本文采用实空间无轨道密度泛函理论和有限元方法研究了铝中刃型位错的缺陷核和能量学。我们的研究表明,一个完美的刃型位错的核心尺寸约为10倍的伯格斯矢量的大小。这一发现是相反的,被广泛接受的概念,连续描述的位错能量是准确的超过1-3伯格斯矢量从位错线。与以前的电子结构研究相一致,我们发现,完美的刃型位错解离成两个肖克莱偏距为12.8 $Å$的部分。有趣的是,我们的研究揭示了显着的影响,宏观变形的核心能量的Shockley偏分。我们表明,这种依赖的核心能量对宏观变形的结果在位错上的额外的力,超出Peach-Koehler力,这是成比例的应变梯度。此外,我们证明,这种力的核心效应可以是显着的,可以发挥重要的作用,在管理的位错行为的区域不均匀的变形。

英文摘要:

We employed a real-space formulation of orbital-free density functional theory using finite-element basis to study the defect-core and energetics of an edge dislocation in Aluminum. Our study shows that the core-size of a perfect edge dislocation is around ten times the magnitude of the Burgers vector. This finding is contrary to the widely accepted notion that continuum descriptions of dislocation energetics are accurate beyond 1-3 Burgers vector from the dislocation line. Consistent with prior electronic-structure studies, we find that the perfect edge dislocation dissociates into two Shockley partials with a partial separation distance of 12.8 $Å$. Interestingly, our study revealed a significant influence of macroscopic deformations on the core-energy of Shockley partials. We show that this dependence of the core-energy on macroscopic deformations results in an additional force on dislocations, beyond the Peach-Koehler force, that is proportional to strain gradients. Further, we demonstrate that this force from core-effects can be significant and can play an important role in governing the dislocation behavior in regions of inhomogeneous deformations.
