Abstract
A numerical method of solution of the Peierls-Nabarro integro-differential eqation for a given force lawτ(f) is proposed. The solution, i.e., the disregistryf(x) or the dislocation densityq(x)=df/dx is found in a form which describes the splitting of a dislocation into the chosen number of partial dislocations. The method is applied to the study of planar cores of 1/2〈111〉 dislocation in b.c.c. metals on {112} and on {110} planes. The force lawsτ(f) are derived from the dependence of the stacking fault energyγ on disregistryf; theγ(f) curves calculated by Vítek (1969) forα-Fe for two different interatomic potentials are used. In all cases, the solution is well represented by splitting into three partials.
