Atomic-level calculations and experimental study of dislocations in InSb

Résumé

Plastic deformation in InSb single crystals is governed by the motion of dislocations. Since InSb has a diamond cubic lattice, it possesses two sets of slip planes: a shuffle set and a glide set. Transmission electron microscopy analysis of deformed bulk single crystals shows that, at low temperatures (<20 °C), dislocations have narrow cores, while at higher temperatures, they have extended cores. However, it remains unclear to which slip plane set these dislocations belong. In this paper, by combining experiments and atomic-level calculations, we show that dislocations with narrow and extended cores, respectively, belong to the shuffle and glide sets. The conclusion is reached by calculating the generalized stacking fault energy curves and ideal shear stresses using density functional theory calculations and the intrinsic stacking fault width associated with dislocations using atomistic simulations. It is also found that while the shuffle set dislocations are easier to activate at lower temperatures, dislocations on the glide set become dominant at higher temperatures.
