Phase field model for self-climb of prismatic dislocation loops by vacancy pipe diffusion

Xiaohua Niu, Yang Xiang, Xiaodong Yan

英文摘要：

In this paper, we present a phase field model for the self-climb motion of prismatic dislocation loops via vacancy pipe diffusion driven by elastic interactions. This conserved dynamics model is developed under the framework of the Cahn-Hilliard equation with incorporation of the climb force on dislocations, and is based on the dislocation self-climb velocity formulation established in Ref.[1]. The phase field model has the advantage of being able to handle the topological and geometrical changes automatically during the simulations. Asymptotic analysis shows that the proposed phase field model gives the dislocation self-climb velocity accurately in the sharp interface limit. Numerical simulations of evolution, translation, coalescence and repelling of prismatic loops by self-climb show excellent agreement with discrete dislocation dynamics simulation results and the experimental observation.

Dislocation dynamics formulation for self-climb of dislocation loops by vacancy pipe diffusion

It has been shown in experiments that self-climb of prismatic dislocation loops by pipe diffusion plays important roles in their dynamical behaviors, e.g., coarsening of prismatic loops upon annealing, as well as the physical and mechanical properties of materials with irradiation. In this paper, we show that this dislocation dynamics self-climb formulation that we derived in Ref. [1] is able to quantitatively describe the properties of self-climb of prismatic loops that were observed in experiments and atomistic simulations. This dislocation dynamics formulation applies to self-climb by pipe …

A phase field model for the motion of prismatic dislocation loops by both climb and self-climb

We study the sharp interface limit and well-posedness of a phase field model for self-climb of prismatic dislocation loops in periodic settings. The model is set up in a Cahn-Hilliard/Allen-Cahn framework featured with degenerate phase-dependent diffusion mobility with an additional stablizing function. Moreover, a nonlocal climb force is added to the chemical potential. We introduce a notion of weak solutions for the nonlinear model. The existence result is obtained by approximations of the proposed model with nondegenerate mobilities. Lastly, the numerical simulations are performed to valida…

Dislocation dynamics simulations with climb: kinetics of dislocation loop coarsening controlled by bulk diffusion

Dislocation climb mobilities, assuming vacancy bulk diffusion, are derived and implemented in dislocation dynamics simulations to study the coarsening of vacancy prismatic loops in fcc metals. When loops cannot glide, the comparison of the simulations with a coarsening model based on the line tension approximation shows a good agreement. Dislocation dynamics simulations with both glide and climb are then performed. Allowing for glide of the loops along their prismatic cylinders leads to faster coarsening kinetics, as direct coalescence of the loops is now possible.

Prismatic Edge Dislocations in Graphite

Dislocations are a central concept in materials science, which dictate the plastic deformation and damage evolution in materials. Layered materials such as graphite admit two general types of interlayer dislocations: basal and prismatic dislocations, of which prismatic dislocations have been relatively less studied. Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we have examined different prismatic core structures in graphite and evaluated their structure, energetics and mobility. We find close energetic interplay between bonded and "free-standing" core structures in both zigzag and armch…

Dislocation climb models from atomistic scheme to dislocation dynamics

We develop a mesoscopic dislocation dynamics model for vacancy-assisted dislocation climb by upscalings from a stochastic model on the atomistic scale. Our models incorporate microscopic mechanisms of (i) bulk diffusion of vacancies, (ii) vacancy exchange dynamics between bulk and dislocation core, (iii) vacancy pipe diffusion along the dislocation core, and (iv) vacancy attachment-detachment kinetics at jogs leading to the motion of jogs. Our mesoscopic model consists of the vacancy bulk diffusion equation and a dislocation climb velocity formula. The effects of pipe diffusion and the jog str…

Solute softening and vacancy generation by diffusion-less climb in magnesium alloys

Active room temperature diffusion-less climb of the <a> edge dislocations in model Mg-Al alloys was observed using molecular dynamics simulations. Dislocations on prismatic and pyramidal I planes climb through the basal plane to overcome solute obstacles. This out-of-plane dislocation motion softens the high resistance pyramidal I glide and significantly reduces the anisotropy of dislocation mobility, and could help improve the ductility of Mg. The flow stress scales linearly with solute concentration, cAl. Dislocations climb predominantly in the negative direction, with climb angle on the ord…

Interstitial-mediated dislocation climb and the weakening of particle-reinforced alloys under irradiation

Dislocations can climb out of their glide plane by absorbing (or emitting) point defects (vacancies and self-interstitial atoms (SIAs)). In contrast with conservative glide motion, climb relies on the point defects' thermal diffusion and hence operates on much longer timescales, leading to some forms of creep. Whilst equilibrium point defect concentrations allow dislocations to climb to relieve non-glide stresses, point defect supersaturations also lead to osmotic forces, driving dislocation motion even in the absence of external stresses. Self-interstitial atoms typically have significantly h…

PANIC: a 3D dislocation dynamics model for climb and glide in epitaxial films and heterostructures

This paper presents PANIC, a 3D discrete mesoscale dislocation dynamics model which includes a fully quantitative treatment of both dislocation climb and dislocation glide, including climb driven by both osmotic and mechanical stresses and climb enabled by both bulk and pipe diffusion, including full elastic anisotropy for materials with hexagonal symmetry. Efficient calculations can be performed for epitaxial thin films, multilayers and device structures with free surfaces, including those with irregular geometries (e.g. islands). The model also includes the capability to simulate dislocation…
