Abstract
Atomic-scale calculations for the dynamics of the 90 degrees partial g lide dislocation in silicon are made using the effective-medium tight- binding theory. Kink formation and migration energies for the reconstr ucted partial dislocation are compared with experimental results for t he mobility of this dislocation. The results confirm the theory that t he partial moves in the dissociated state via the formation of stable kinks. The correlation between glide activation energy and band gap in semiconducting systems is discussed.
