Effect of pre-existing defects in the parent fcc phase on atomistic mechanisms during the martensitic transformation in pure Fe: A molecular dynamics study

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to study the effect of different defect configurations and their arrangements in the parent fcc phase on atomistic mechanisms during the martensitic transformation mechanisms in pure Fe. The defect configurations considered are stacking faults (SF) and twin boundaries (TB) in single crystal fcc. Three...
