Recent experimental findings have confirmed the occurrence of dislocation gliding and the activation of the {001}<110> slip system in single-crystal diamond at room temperature. However, there is limited theoretical research and simulation on this dislocation gliding in the {001}<110> slip system. In this study, a new potential function called the Tersoff High Pressure potential is derived from the original Tersoff potential, and it includes a novel bond order term with the nearest neighbors. Molecular dynamic simulations of both {001}<110> and {111}<110> dislocation slip systems in diamond validate this model, successfully explaining the dislocation mediated transition from brittle to ductile behavior under high hydrostatic pressure. The current model is expected to be useful for studying the strengthening mechanism in diamond and conducting related research.
Recent confirmation of room temperature dislocation plasticity in single-crystal diamond and the activation of {001}<110> slip system in experiments has opened up a new era to understand the deformation mechanism of brittle covalent crystals. However, few theoretical research and simulation has been conducted on the dislocation gliding in {001}<110> slip system. In this work, a new potential function is derived from the original Tersoff potential to the Tersoff High Pressure potential with a novel bond order term with the nearest neighbors. This model has been validated with series of molecular dynamic simulations of both {001}<110> and {111}<110> dislocation slip systems in diamond, successfully describing the dislocation mediated brittle-ductile transition under high hydrostatic pressure. The gliding mechanism of dislocation on {001} plane presents a jumping character with a large burgers vector under high hydrostatic pressure. Whereas, the diamond exhibits a zipper like Griffith cleavage upon shearing under zero hydrostatic pressure. Similar deformation processes are also found in polycrystalline diamond. The current model is expected to prove useful in related simulations focusing on the strengthening mechanism in diamond and related research.
