The behaviour of the ½ a <111> screw dislocation core in the presence of an external shear stress on {110} planes has been studied for a variety of effective interionic potentials, each representing a stable b. c. c. lattice. The distortion and motion of the core are described using the concept of fractional dislocations, which are imperfect dislocations bounding a ribbon of generalized (unstable) stacking fault. Three essentially distinct types of movement are found, and the relation of these to plastic flow and twinning in real b. c. c. metals is discussed. It is found that the movement of the dislocation core can be rationalized in terms of the relative stresses needed to create generalized stacking faults on {110} and {112} planes.
