摘要: With modified analytical embedded-atom method and molecular dynamics simulation, this paper simulates the strain energy and the equilibrium core structure of a<100> edge dislocation in BCC metal iron on atomistic scale. In addition, the trapping effect of dislocation on vacancy is investigated as well. The results show that the equilibrium dislocation core is quite narrow and has a C2v symmetry structure. Calculated strain energy Es of the dislocation is a linear function of ln (R/2b) while R≥5.16 Å (1 Å=0.1 nm), in excellent agreement with the elasticity theory prediction. Determined core radius and energy are 5.16 Å and 0.62 eV/Å, respectively. The closer the vacancy to the dislocation line is, the lower the vacancy formation energy is, this fact implies that the dislocation has a trend to trap the vacancy, especially for a separation distance of the vacancy from dislocation line being less than two lattice constants.

Abstract: With modified analytical embedded-atom method and molecular dynamics simulation, this paper simulates the strain energy and the  equilibrium core structure of $a\langle 100 \rangle$ edge dislocation in BCC metal iron on atomistic scale. In addition, the  trapping effect of dislocation on vacancy is investigated as well. The results show that the equilibrium dislocation core is quite  narrow and has a $C_{2v} $ symmetry structure. Calculated strain energy $E_s$ of the dislocation is a linear function of $\ln  (R/2b)$ while $R\ge 5.16$~{\AA} (1 Å=0.1 nm), in excellent agreement with the elasticity theory prediction. Determined core radius and energy are 5.16~{\AA} and 0.62~eV/{\AA}, respectively. The closer the vacancy to the dislocation line  is, the lower the vacancy formation energy is, this fact implies that the dislocation has a trend to trap the vacancy, especially  for a separation distance of the vacancy from dislocation line being less than two lattice constants.

Key words: iron, edge dislocation, vacancy, modified analytical embedded-atom method
