Figure 1 A cartoon of phonon scattering by a dislocation. A cartoon of phonon scattering by a dislocation. Higher order scattering processes contribute terms of higherorder in temperature to the effective drag parameter. 0 CF/15/202 Download
Fig 2 An illustration of the defect translation vector An illustration of the defect translation vector for a localized `hump' in a chain of `atoms'. The vector describes the individual atomic displacements that correspond to an infinitesimal defect migration at zero temperature 0 CF/15/203 Download
Figure 3 Migration barrier $E_{ m mig}$ and temperature independent friction coefficient $gamma_0$ as a function of kink width Migration barrier $E_{rm mig}$ and temperature independent friction coefficient $gamma_0$ as a function of kink width $w$, relative to their values at $w=a$. We see the migration barrier decays exponentially, whilst the temperature independent friction coefficient remains almost unchanged even for kink widths much larger than the lattice parameter $a$. This highlights the fact that $gamma_0$ is a quantity owing its existence to the discreteness of the system, which is present even when the energy cost of discreteness is low. 0 CF/15/204 Download
Figure 4 The diffusivity of an interstitial crowdion defect in W at various temperatures. The diffusivity of an interstitial crowdion defect in W at various temperatures. 0 CF/15/205 Download
Figure 5 Determination of ${f U}( m r)$ from MD simulation of a $1/2langle111 angle$ crowdion in W at T=300K. Determination of ${bf U}(rm r)$ from MD simulation of a $1/2langle111rangle$ crowdion in W at T=300K. Below: The deviation in $1/2[111]$ bond length for ${bf U}(rm r)$ and ${bf X}(t)$. Inset: illustration of a $1/2langle111rangle$ crowdion fromcite{Dudarev2008}. Above: The thermal vibration vector ${bmPhi}={bf X}(t)-{bf U}({rm r})$, which fluctuates around zero with no peaks, as expected. Inset: Logarithmic plot of the quadratic weight $|({bf X}-{bf U}(rm r))cdotpartial_{rm r}{bf U}|^2$ for various values of $rm r$. We see a quadratic minimum of $sim10^{-7}$ which may be readily detected. 0 CF/15/206 Download
Figure 6 The defect position, velocity and force acting on the defect, extracted for an interstitial crowdion in W at T=300K. The defect position, velocity and force acting on the defect, extracted for an interstitial crowdion in W at T=300K. To our knowledge this is the first time a defect velocity and force have been extracted directly from the velocity and force vectors of a simulated crystal 0 CF/15/207 Download
Figure 7 The defect force autocorrelation calculated from molecular dynamics simulations at various temperatures. The defect force autocorrelation calculated from molecular dynamics simulations at various temperatures. The small supercell used for one of the T=150K autocorrelations contained $sim3,000$ atoms, whilst the other data was taken from supercells containing $sim10,000$ atoms. We see the initial peak of the force autocorrelation divided by $rm k_BT$ is essentially independent of temperature, giving an estimate for a temperature independent drag parameter $gamma=gamma_0simeq5.9$eV$cdot$ fs/${rmAA}^2$ that compares well with the value of $gamma_0$=6.0(7) eV$cdot$ fs/${rmAA}^2$ obtained from measurement of the diffusion constant $D={rm k_BT}/gamma_0$ 0 CF/15/208 Download
Figure 8 The defect force autocorrelation calculated from molecular statics simulations for a crowdion in W The defect force autocorrelation calculated from molecular statics simulations for a crowdion in W. We see that the autocorrelation is in good agreement with molecular dynamics estimates of the force autocorrelation. 0 CF/15/209 Download
