The impurity segregation en- ergy and the charge distribution are calculated. The effects of B on the dislocation motion are discussed. The results show that B prefers to segregate at the Center-Al dislocation core. Moreover, B forms strong bonding states with its neighboring host atoms, which may not be beneficial to the motion of the dislocation. Therefore, it can be expected that the strength of NiAl single crystals may be increased.展开更多

There are three different sized asymmetric surface pits: large pit of 500 nm–2 ?m in side length, medium pit of 50 nm in side length, and small pit with side lengths of less than 5 nm, which originate from incomplete island coalescence, screw dislocation, and partial dislocation(PD), respectively. Both screw dislocation and PD can produce pits on the free surface because they have a perpendicular line tension to the surface, which must remain in balance with the surface tension. The two types of dislocation lead to distinctive pit sizes because the PD has a smaller Burgers vector component along the dislocation line than the pure screw dislocation. A pit that is produced in the island-coalescing process is much larger than those caused by dislocations because island coalescence is a kinetic process that involves large-scale mass transportation, whereas the dislocation mediates the surface in the local area. These three types of surface pits sometimes interact with one another in space. The coalescence of the island determines the surface morphology at large scales, whereas the defects affect the details.展开更多
