Abstract
We recently developed an experimental device that allows us to observe the slip traces under stress at the atomic scale. Here, we report experimental results obtained at the latter scale on Nb single crystals making it possible to observe dislocation dipoles, which are evidenced by two slip traces formed by emerging moving dislocations of opposite Burgers vectors ending very close to each other. The geometry and stability of the dislocation dipoles were fully characterized in the framework of linear anisotropic elasticity theory and by atomistic simulations. This allows us to calculate a local opposite stress impeding dislocation motion of the dislocations of the dipole.
期刊介绍:
Serving the multidisciplinary materials community, the journal aims to publish new research work that advances the understanding and prediction of material behaviour at scales from atomistic to macroscopic through modelling and simulation.
Subject coverage:
Modelling and/or simulation across materials science that emphasizes fundamental materials issues advancing the understanding and prediction of material behaviour. Interdisciplinary research that tackles challenging and complex materials problems where the governing phenomena may span different scales of materials behaviour, with an emphasis on the development of quantitative approaches to explain and predict experimental observations. Material processing that advances the fundamental materials science and engineering underpinning the connection between processing and properties. Covering all classes of materials, and mechanical, microstructural, electronic, chemical, biological, and optical properties.
