Abstract
Atomistic study of cross slip of a screw dislocation in copper is presented using the action-optimization numerical technique which seeks the most probable dynamic pathway on the potential-energy surface of the atomic system during the cross-slip process. The observed mechanism reveals features of both competing mechanisms postulated in literature, i.e., the Fleischer mechanism and the Friedel-Escaig mechanism. Due to cooperative atomic motions and complex core rearrangement during the process, the activation energies of the current cross-slip mechanism are around 0.5eV less than the lowest ever reported in corresponding studies using atomistic numerical techniques.
