(1) Investigate single and collective dislocation interaction phenomena in anisotropic materials, which determine plasticity and failure of semiconductor devices.
(2) Multiscale coupling of the parametric dislocation dynamics with the finite element
(3) Develop unique software on parallel, scaleable computer clusters to simulate the collective behavior of topologically complex line defects.
(4) Apply the developed software to investigate key dislocation mechanisms.
(5) Large-scale simulation and optimization of semiconductor material systems.

Elastic anisotropy results in unexpected effects (e.g. dislocation climb, dipole & F-R source stability).
Larger values of the anisotropy ratio (A) results in an “equivalent” larger self-force.
Equivalent isotropic elastic constants do not result in equivalent strain hardening.
A method has been established to satisfy all interface & free surface B.C’s in anisotropic thin films.
Loops develop climb forces near interfaces. Good agreement with experiments on nano-
indentation.
