Abstract£ºTo investigate the dislocation motion characteristics in lowª²temperature£¨LT£© buffer during the growing process of lattice mismatched heterostructure£¬a 60¡ã dislocation dipole and 5 types of ringª²shaped hexagonal vacancy defects with their different relative positions to the dislocation are modeled in a Si crystal via molecular dynamics simulation£®Based on Parrinelloª²Rahman method£¬shear stress is exerted on the model to move the dislocation£®The influences of different ringª²shaped hexagonal vacancy defects on the 60¡ã dislocation movement are discussed£®It is found that all kinds of ringª²shaped hexagonal vacancy defects may bend the dislocation line and delay the dislocation movement£¬and during the course of intersection the dislocation line sections relatively far away from the ringª²shaped hexagonal vacancy defect accelerate first£¬and then decelerate£®The critical shear stress unpinning the 60¡ã dislocation from the ringª²shaped hexagonal vacancy defect decreases as the temperature increases in the models£¬and approaches a stable value of 0.6 GPa as the temperature is higher than 300 K£¬bellow the misfit stress in common SiGe heterostructures£¬ which indicates that the 60¡ã dislocation can not be pinned by the ringª²shaped hexagonal vacancy defects in this case£®
