Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A model of computational mechanics for lattice defects is formulated based on finite deformation theory. Nucleation and motion of a pair of pentagon-heptagon defects from a Stone-Wales defects in a two-dimensional nano-carbon structure is analysed using molecular dynamics simulation, and a lattice defect model is improved. Local stability of the structure of topological defects is studied, and the transition energy on a minimum energy path from a stable state to another stable state is evaluated by using nudged elastic band method. According to the series of studies, how to design the dynamics of topological defects in a processes of deformation and structural changes (i.e. nucleation, motion and annihilation) is formulated in a viewpoint of transport phenomena.
