Features and Snapshots

 

 
Dislocation dynamics in single slip condition (Cu at 300 K).

 

 
Dislocation dynamics in multislip slip condition (Cu at 300 K).

 

 
Plastic bending of a capped layer (Al at 300 K).

 

 
Network of interface dislocations formed by threading dislocations.

 

 
Dislocation-particule interactions during straining (alpha-Fe at 300 K).

 

 
Dislocation dynamics in single slip conditions with a large 'forest' density (alpha-Fe at 100K).

 

 
Operation of a dislocation source in a nano grain with and without cross-slip.

 

 
Plastic relaxation in the early stages of SiGe superdome island growth. Threading dislocations on four different slip systems are produced from loops nucleated at locations of maximum stress in the island corners (island diameter = 140 nm).
