【 摘 要 】

We report atomic-scale simulations of the structure and formation energies of jog pairs on 1/2 < 110 >{(1) over bar 10} edge dislocations in magnesium oxide (MgO). The atomic configurations of elementary jogs of height 1/4[(1) over bar 10] and super-jogs of height 1/2[(1) over bar 10] are fully characterized showing that stable jogs spread in {111}. Besides, our simulations confirm that elementary jogs carry an electric charge +/- q/2 where q is the charge of a Mg ion, while super-jogs are charge-neutral. The computation of the formation energy reveals the predominance of charged elementary jogs. This offers new insight into the mechanisms for dislocation climb in MgO. (C) 2020 Acta Materialia Inc.
