Abstract
The efficacy of three modern empirical potentials in the molecular dynamic simulation of the configurations, energies and mobility of dislocation cores and their excitations is assessed in the light of recent literature. The results are found to be inconsistent both between different potentials and with experimental evidence. It is argued that the discrepancies are rooted in the limited databases which have been used in the construction of empirical potentials. The reason for the discrepancies is demonstrated by comparing empirical and density functional calculations of the generalized stacking fault energy.
