Jia Zhi-Chao^{1, 2}, Li Ze-Wen^{1, 2}, Zhou Jie^{1, 2}, Ni Xiao-Wu^{1, 2, †}

(color online) Models of slip on {011} (a) and {111} (b) planes. There is a vacuum layer (10 Å) on the (001) surface. Atoms in the dashed rectangle will slip together along the arrow. (c), (d) GSF energies under the conditions in (a), (b) are presented.
