Atomistic calculations based on the nudged elastic band method provide the Peierls potential, which is shown to be dynamically asymmetric and stress dependent. The elastic interaction model adjusted to match kink width computed atomistically, is used to evaluate the critical nucleation enthalpy. We demonstrate that the kink-pair mechanism in MgSiO3 perovskite is controlled by the nucleation of kinks along the [100] screw dislocation. %G English %L cea-02383198 %U https://cea.hal.science/cea-02383198 %~ CEA %~ CNRS %~ ENSC-LILLE %~ INRA %~ DEN %~ INC-CNRS %~ AGREENIUM %~ UNIV-LILLE %~ INRAE %~ MESOCENTRE-LILLE %~ TEST2-HALCNRS
