    | Abstract Scope | The plastic deformation of pure hcp α Ti is carried out by the glide of <a> screw dislocations on the{-1100} prismatic planes. In this work, we used Molecular statics and dynamics simulations to determine the core structure and critical stress for the motion of <a> screw dislocations on the prism plane in α-Ti at low temperatures using a recently developed MEAM-spline potential for Ti-Nb. From Molecular statics at 0K we found two core structures, one spread on the pyramidalI plane and the other one on the prismaticI plane. In agreement with first-principle calculations, the pyramidalI core is the ground state core and ΔE between the two cores is 18.8 mev/b. Finally, MD simulations show that the screw dislocations glide by a kink-pair mechanism on the prismatic plane and the calculated Peierls stress vs T for the prismatic core are in good agreement with experimental low-temperature yield data for prismatic slip. |
