Abstract

ABSTRACTMechanisms responsible for the formation of a misfit dislocation in a lattice-mismatched system have been studied using Molecular Dynamics simulations of a two-dimensional Lennard-Jones system. Results show clearly how the strain due to the lattice-mismatched interface acts as a driving force for migration of dislocations in the substrate and the overlayer and nucleation of dislocations in the overlayer edges. Moreover, we observe dislocation reactions in which the gliding planes of dislocations change such that they can migrate to the interface.
