Abstract
Atomic-scale computer simulation is used to investigate obstacle effects on the dynamics of glide of an edge dislocation in two situations. In one, a dislocation in a-iron encounters copper atoms in solution and it is found that the effect on dislocation velocity under constant stress below the static Peierls stress is strong. In the other, drag of glissile interstitial loops with the same Burgers vector as the dislocation is considered for iron and copper. The drag coefficient of a loop is determined for the first time, and is shown to be related to the diffusivity of clusters of interstitials via a model of dislocation drag of discrete pinning points.KeywordsAtomic-scale modellingdislocation dynamicsdislocation loopdragsolute atom
