We investigate the influence of non-glide stresses on the Peierls energy of screw dislocation by using Nudged-Elastic-Band method. The influence of the applied non-glide stress fields on the Peierls energy of a screw dislocation is clearly observed. Moreover, we find that the stress field dependence of the Peierls energy is changed by the moving direction of the screw dislocation under a specific applied stress field. Geometrical parameters, which can measure the atomic elastic deformation around the screw dislocation core, are introduced to explain the stress field dependence of the Peierls energy. Finally, the cross slip of a screw dislocation around a precipitate with a misfit strain is discussed by combining the analytical solution of stress fields around the precipitate with the geometrical parameters obtained by our atomic simulations. * Dr.Eng., Fundamental Metallurgy Research Lab., Advanced Technology Research Laboratories 1-8 Fuso-cho, Amagasaki, Hyogo Pref. 660-0891 NIPPON STEEL & SUMITOMO METAL TECHNICAL REPORT No. 114 MARCH 2017 62 ic simulation, open-sourced LAMMPS 5) is used and the stress field dependency of the Peierls energy is obtained by using the Nudged Elastic Band (NEB) method 6). In this paper, Chapter 2 describes the analysis model and the inter-atomic potential energy. Chapter 3 describes the influence of the non-glide stress on the Peierls energy of the screw dislocation, and the validity of the results obtained is investigated under different periodic boundary conditions and the inter-atomic potential energy. In Chapter 4, why the Peierls energy is changed by the non-glide stress is considered by focusing on the change of the atomic structure near the dislocation core. In addition, how the stress field around the coherent precipitate exerts influence on the cross-slip of the screw dislocation is considered. Lastly, the conclusion of this paper is given in Chapter 5. 2. Analysis Model and Analysis Conditions 2.1 Analysis model In this study, the analysis target is α-Fe. The crystal orientations in the directions of x, y and z are [112 _ ], [111] and [11 _ 0], respectively. Here, the lattice constant of α-Fe is a0. Three vectors are defined as v[112] = a0 [112 _ ] / 3, v[111] = a0 [111] / 2 and v[110] = a0 [11 _ 0]. Using these vectors, analysis zone ei , which has two different periodic boundary conditions is indicated as follows. First model ei s is: e1 s = 14 v[112], e2 s = 16 v[111], e3 s = 24 v[110] + v[111] (1) In this study, this is called the square model. Second model ei p is: e1 p = 14 v[112], e2 p = 16 v[111], e3 p = 24 v[110] + 7 v[112] + v[111] (2) This is called the parallelogram model. Figure 1 (a)(b) shows the analysis zone of each model, indicating that the difference between these two analysis models is the periodic boundary condition in the z direction. For each model, a screw dislocation pair with a distance of 5 nm in between in the x direction is placed at the center. Figure 1 (a)(b) shows the τyz stress field of each model including the screw dislocation pair. In this study, the screw dislocation on the left is referred to as S1 and the screw dislocation on the right is referred to as S2. Since the screw dislocation of S1 has the Burgers vector of bS1 = 1/2 [111], the screw dislocation of S2 has the Burgers vector of bS2 = −bS1. As described later, since this study focuses on the motion of easy-core screw dislocation, in this analysis model to which the periodic boundary conditions are applied, it is necessary to note that the distance in the x direction (distance between S1 and S2 and distance between S2 and S1') between adjacent screw dislocations is not strictly equal. (The difference of the distances is smaller than a0.) Each model uses different periodic boundary conditions in the z direction. As shown in Fig. 1 (a), in the square model, the dislocations that have the same Burgers vector are periodically aligned in the z direction. In contrast, as shown in Fig. 1 (b), in the parallelogram model, the screw dislocations that have different Burgers vector in the z direction are periodically aligned. The interaction between adjacent dislocations is different, and the different stress field in the analysis zone can be confirmed from Fig. 1 (a)(b). Here, e3 is inclined in the y direction by 1/2 v[111] for both models. This is equivalent to the plastic strain generated by putting the screw dislocation pair in the calculation cell. Considering this 1/2 v[111], average stress τyz in the system can be made zero. Using the analysis model above, the influence of the non-glide stress on the Peierls energy of the screw dislocation is considered. In addition, by comparing the results obtained from two analysis models, the influence of the difference of the periodic structure of the screw dislocation is considered. The screw dislocation core of bcc metal has energetically stable easy-cores and unstable hard-cores depending on its atomic geometry. Figure 1 (c) shows the {111} plane of the bcc structure. Here, the circles indicate atoms and the color difference indicates the depth difference in the [111] direction. From this figure, it is confirmed that the {111} plane has the three-layer periodic structure. In an easy-core, if displacement of the screw dislocation is superposed onto a bcc structure, each atomic configuration of the dislocation core maintains the three-layer structure that is the same as a perfect crystal. (The positions indicated by plotting squares in Fig. 1 (c) correspond to easy-cores.) However, in a hard-core, atomic configurations of the dislocation core exist on the same {111} plane. (In other words, atomic configuration of the dislocation core has the same color.) Therefore, the distance between adjacent atoms of a hardcore is shorter than that of an easy-core and the energy of dislocation becomes higher.7) In this study, a transfer phenomenon of the screw dislocation that exists in an easy-core to another adjacent easy-core is considered. 2.2 Inter-atomic potential Two inter-atomic potentials to indicate α-Fe as the inter-atomic interaction are used. One is the embedded atomic method (EAM) 8) by Chamati, et al. and the other is the EAM potential by Mendelev, et al.9) Mendelev, et al. have studied five types of potentials, from which a potential that best describes a defect structure in bcc iron is used as the other one. By comparing the influence of non-glide stress on the Peierls energy of the screw dislocation obtained from these two inter-atomic potentials, the validity of the result obtained 1 2
