Atomic scale modelling of the cores of dislocations in complex materials part 1: methodology

Dislocations influence many properties of crystalline solids, including plastic deformation, growth and dissolution, diffusion and the formation of polytypes. Some of these processes can be described using continuum methods but this approach fails when a description of the structure of the core is r...
