The effect of dislocations on the thermodynamic properties of Ta single crystal under high pressure by molecular dynamics simulation Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 51231002) and the Basic Scientific Research Projects in Central Colleges and Universities (Grant No. 2018ZD10). |
(color online) Atomic arrangement and stress distribution with atomic resolutions, where a Ta crystal including a 1/2⟨110⟩ {112} edge dislocation (the corresponding density ρ = 0.29 × 1012 cm−2) is impacted under the pressure of 100 GPa at different moments of (a) t = 0 ps, (b) t = 5 ps, (c) t = 10 ps, and (d) t = 30 ps. The shock pressure is along the ⟨110⟩ crystallographic direction. |
