The Embedded Atom Method (EAM) approach has been applied to the study of five principle gliding systems in zirconium and titanium materials. The stacking fault energy maps are obtained and compared to the results of ab initio calculations. A good agreement was observed between the two approaches. Furthermore, the Critical Resolved Shear Stresses (CRSS) have been determined by Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations based on the EAM potentials. The CRSS in the "a" direction for the basal, prismatic (type 1) and pyramidal (type 2) planes are obtained and compared.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
