Fig. 3: Stacking fault energies and restoring stresses along different slip planes and slip directions in diamond.

a Atomic configurations of the initial/final and intermediate states for glide-set along \([1\bar 10]\) and \([11\bar 2]\) directions, respectively. b Atomic configurations of the initial/final and intermediate states for shuffle-set along \([1\bar 10]\) and \([11\bar 2]\) directions, respectively. Atoms and chemical bonds that undergo severe deformation are colored in dark orange. The cyan cross-sections indicate the slip planes; arrows indicate the slip directions. c GSFE curves for four different slip modes in diamond, due to two distinct slip planes, glide-set and shuffle-set, and two slip directions, \([1\bar 10]\) and \([11\bar 2]\). d Restoring stresses, derivatives of stacking fault energies with respect to slip distance.
