TL;DR: In this article, an empirical EAM potential for magnesium by fitting to ab initio forces (the ''force matching'' method) and experimental data was developed. But the potential was not used to evaluate various bulk structural properties.

TL;DR: The physical basis for the Frank-Bilby equation is considered in this article, where the concepts of partitioning of elastic distortions, array energies, node formation, and lateral spreading of defects within interfaces are considered.

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of embedded-atom method (EAM) potentials for Al-Mg alloys are developed using the "force matching" method, and the potentials are fitted to both experimental data and a massive quantum mechanical database of atomic forces at finite temperatures.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new Al potential with improved stacking fault energy was constructed using the force-matching method using an ab initio forces database and various experimental data. But this potential was not fitted to an ABI forces database.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of interface shear strength on the interaction of lattice glide dislocations with fcc/bcc interfaces was studied using atomistic modeling, and it was shown that relatively low interfaces with relatively low shear strengths can be strong barriers to slip dislocation due to dislocation core spreading within the interface plane.
