Size Dependence of Dislocation-Mediated Plasticity in Ni Single Crystals: Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Figure 7
(a) Glide process of the first extended dislocation traveling through the crystal. For nanopillars with different diameters, the configurations of the initial dislocation at different time are placed in a drawing.
The drawing plane is the primary slip plane of dislocations. (b) A schematic illustration of
dislocation-dynamics-based model.
