Fig. 3: Habit planes in SAAMD and nanoindentation simulations.

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

Fig. 3

a The mixed {100}, {130}, {120}, and {110} habit planes of a <100> loop (shown by the pink curve) during its diffusion in SAAMD simulations. b Schematic of external stress applied on a <100> loop in BCC Fe with nanoindentation method. The loop plane and Burgers vector are shown in the figure. The evolution of the loop with simulation time is shown in c from state I to state IV, shown by different colors.
