Erratum: Computational study of the generation of crystal defects in a bcc metal target irradiated by short laser pulses [Phys. Rev. B77, 214108 (2008)

Abstract

In two places on page 7 and in the caption of Fig. 7, the plane of the stacking fault (slip plane) is mistakenly identified as (100) instead of (101). The text should be as follows: “. . .the stacking fault is created by dividing the system into two parts by a (101) plane. . .” at the bottom of the left column on page 7; “. . .the atoms are allowed to relax in the direction perpendicular to the (101) slip plane. . .” at the top of the right column of page 7; “Generalized stacking fault energy, γGSF, for the (101) slip plane in bcc EAM Cr. . .” in the caption for Figure 7 on page 8. These are typing errors and they do not affect the results reported in the paper.
