Fig. 4From: Toward a 3D coupled atomistic and discrete dislocation dynamics simulation: dislocation core structures and Peierls stresses with several character angles in FCC aluminum(a) Procedure to find lattice coordinates for a mixed dislocation based on the atomistic representation used for edge dislocation (\(x=\,[11\bar {2}]\), y= [111] and \(z=\,[1\bar {1}0]\)). (b) A result of the procedure (\(x'[\bar {1}5\bar {4}]\), y= [111] and \(z'=\,[3\bar {1}\bar {2}]\)). The 130.893° mixed dislocation can be created by choosing x ′ as dislocation line direction. The full black circles are the minimal number of atoms under the given coordinate system, and empty black circles are the result of replicationsBack to article page
