Abstract
Abstract The slip behaviour in coherent and semicoherent metallic bilayer composites is examined by atomic simulation in the Cu/Ni and Cu/Ag systems. The coherent interface in Cu/Ni, although energetically unfavourable relative to the semicoherent interface in thick layers, reveals several interesting phenomena. Linear elastic predictions of lattice strains to achieve coherency (removing the 2.7% lattice mismatch) are found not to satisfy equilibrium. The cause is nonlinearity in the elastic response. The application of stresses needed for glide dislocations to cross the interface or to escape from the interface exacerbates the nonlinearities in the elastic response of the system. Koehler forces, arising from elastic mismatch, are in some cases observed to have the wrong sign relative to linear elastic predictions. Core structures of misfit dislocations in semicoherent interfaces are observed to be quite different in the cube-on-cube oriented Cu/Ni and Cu/Ag systems with interfaces parallel to (010). In t...
