Thermal kink pairs aid the migration process
• Thermal kink pairs nucleating at adjacent MDI mediate the migration
• Migration barriers 1/3rd that of migration barriers in bulk
Restrictions/Simplifications for dislocation model
1. Isotropic linear elastic solutions for dislocation interactions
2. Interactions are considered between kinks/jogs and set 1 dislocation only
3. Interactions neglected between kinks/jogs and the dislocation network
Point defect is a dislocation mechanism

interaction energy due to a parallel shift by distance a of a dislocation segment of length L
that is part of a long straight dislocation and is given by Eqn.(2). The second term is the
total negative elastic interaction energy between all pairs of parallel dislocation segments
created due to the nucleation of a kink-jog pair, each of length ai, and separated by L⇥i (a
function of L and ai) and is given by Eqn.(3), and the third term is the self energy of the
dislocation segments that form the kink-jog pair. In Eqns. (2) and (3), µ = 42 GPa is the
shear modulus of bulk copper and b = aCu⇤2
is the magnitude of the Burgers vector of all the
dislocation segments; aCu is the 0 K lattice constant of copper. From simulations, we obtain
a1 = aCu⇤3, a2 = aCu⇤

2. Energy expressions for all the states in our simulations
are readily obtained as a combination of Eqns. (2) and (3) with appropriate values for the
variables L, L⇥i, and ai.

Solutions are expected to be greater than energies from the simulations
At the interface
• The shear modulus is thought to be lower than in bulk
• The unstable stacking fault energies are thought to be lower than in bulk

• The barrier in this path can be thought of as the difference in the formation
energies of the jog at the MDI and on set 1 misfit dislocation
• In this interface, the barrier is much larger than that we observed (but there
may be other interfaces where such a mechanism could occur)

The volume and energies of the “jog core” at S={3,4} are comparable to those of a
<112> jog in a screw dislocation in bulk copper
The energy differences and volumes are comparable to those for jogs in bulk screw dislocation in Cu
At S = {3,4}, the migrating jog resides on set 1 misfit dislocation and away
from MDI
The core energy for s={3,4} is much more than that at s={1,2,5,6}
The self energies of the jog are different at different positions

Summary
• A dislocation model for point defect migration was developed
• It is predictive!
• Dislocation model applied in its originally derived form suggests that
there are alternate, lower-barrier paths
• However, atomistic calculations do not support that
• Reason: The moving jog has different self energies along the path
• This too can also be incorporated into the dislocation model
