Visualization and analysis of atomistic simulation data with OVITO–the Open Visualization Tool

Alexander Stukowski · 15 Dec 2009

The Open Visualization Tool (OVITO) is a new 3D visualization software designed for post-processing atomistic data obtained from molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo simulations. Unique analysis, editing and animations functions are integrated into its easy-to-use graphical user interface. The software is written in object-oriented C++, controllable via Python scripts and easily extendable through a plug-in…

Automated identification and indexing of dislocations in crystal interfaces

Alexander Stukowski, Vasily V. Bulatov, A. Arsenlis · 31 Oct 2012

Here, we present a computational method for identifying partial and interfacial dislocations in atomistic models of crystals with defects. Our automated algorithm is based on a discrete Burgers circuit integral over the elastic displacement field and is not limited to specific lattices or dislocation types. Dislocations in grain boundaries and other interfaces are identified by…

Structure identification methods for atomistic simulations of crystalline materials

Alexander Stukowski · 28 May 2012

Here, we discuss existing and new computational analysis techniques to classify local atomic arrangements in large-scale atomistic computer simulations of crystalline solids. This article includes a performance comparison of typical analysis algorithms such as common neighbor analysis (CNA), centrosymmetry analysis, bond angle analysis, bond order analysis and Voronoi analysis. In addition we propose a simple…

Extracting dislocations and non-dislocation crystal defects from atomistic simulation data

Alexander Stukowski, Karsten Albe · 30 Sep 2010

We describe a novel method for extracting dislocation lines from atomistic simulation data in a fully automated way. The dislocation extraction algorithm (DXA) generates a geometric description of dislocation lines contained in an arbitrary crystalline model structure. Burgers vectors are determined reliably, and the extracted dislocation network fulfills the Burgers vector conservation rule at each…

Phase-field models in materials science

Ingo Steinbach · 30 Jul 2009

The phase-field method is reviewed against its historical and theoretical background. Starting from Van der Waals considerations on the structure of interfaces in materials the concept of the phase-field method is developed along historical lines. Basic relations are summarized in a comprehensive way. Special emphasis is given to the multi-phase-field method with extension to elastic…
