The predicted 3-D atomistic structure of an interfacial screw–edge dislocation

Abstract

Atomistic computer simulation techniques have been employed to generate an amorphous SrO thin film on an MgO(100) substrate, which, under dynamics simulation, recrystallises revealing misfit induced structural modifications including mixed screw–edge dislocations, lattice slip and twist boundaries.
