Equilibrium shape of dislocation shear loops in anisotropic alpha-Fe

We present dislocation dynamics (DD) simulations of shear loops in a highly anisotropic linear elastic crystal. The equilibrium shapes of the loops are determined for the four principal slip systems of the body-centered-cubic lattice, using empirical elastic constants for α-Fe, for a range of temper...
