Mechanisms for <100> interstitial dislocation loops to diffuse in BCC iron

The mobility of dislocation loops in materials is of key importance to understanding their deformation behavior. Here the authors using self-adaptive accelerated molecular dynamics show self-diffusion of <100> interstitial loops in body-centered cubic (BCC) iron by changing its habit plane as...
