In the original publication of the article, Eqs. (2) and (3) are provided in the incorrect form. The corresponding correct equations are provided below.

Equation 2

The resulting force acting on the dislocation line is given by the Peach–Koehler equation (Peach and Koehler 1950):

$$ {\textbf{F}}_{\textbf{l}} = (\varvec{\upsigma}\cdot {\textbf{b}}) \times {\textbf{l}}, $$
(2)

where F l is a force acting on a unit length of a dislocation line l; σ is the applied stress tensor resulting from straining the cell and b is the Burgers vector.

Equation 3

Accounting for a change in dissociation width R in various metastable configurations with respect to that in the stable dislocation core, the associated energy increase ∆W should scale with the following expression (Hirth and Lothe 1982):

$$\begin{aligned} \frac{\Delta W}{L} &=& \gamma \left| {R_{\text{SF}} - R_{\text{SF}}^{\text{eq}} } \right| - \frac{\mu }{2\pi }({\mathbf{b}}_{{\mathbf{1}}} \cdot {\mathbf{l}}_{{\mathbf{1}}} )({\mathbf{b}}_{{\mathbf{2}}} \cdot {\mathbf{l}}_{{\mathbf{2}}} )\ln \frac{{R_{\text{SF}} }}{{R_{\text{SF}}^{\text{eq}} }}\nonumber\\ &&- \frac{\mu }{2\pi (1 - \nu )}[({\mathbf{b}}_{{\mathbf{1}}} \times {\mathbf{l}}_{{\mathbf{1}}} ) \cdot ({\mathbf{b}}_{{\mathbf{2}}} \times {\mathbf{l}}_{{\mathbf{2}}} )]\ln \frac{{R_{\text{SF}} }}{{R_{\text{SF}}^{\text{eq}} }}, \end{aligned}$$
(3)

where ∆W/L is the increase in energy per dislocation unit length with respect to the equilibrium configuration characterized by a dissociation width \( R_{\text{SF}}^{\text{eq}} ; \) R SF is the extension of a perfect stacking fault between the two partials; µ is the anisotropic shear modulus; ν is the Poisson ratio; b i and l i are the partial Burgers vectors and the dislocation line vectors, respectively.
