Computer modelling of the misfit dislocation network at copper/sapphire interface
Abstract
With the use of the 3D molecular quasistatic simulation (at zero temperature) and simulation in frame of 2D Frenkel-Kontorova model, we study the misfit accommodation at a copper/sapphire interface. Our results give a natural explanation of the apparent absence of coherency of the interface observed in the high resolution electron microscopy.
