Large scale atomistic simulation with electrostatics: The case of cation impurity segregation along an edge dislocation line

The movement of impurities and point defects in materials plays a key role in determining their rheological properties, both by permitting diffusional creep and by allowing recovery by dislocation climb. Impurity and point defect diffusion can also control the kinetics of phase transitions and grain...
