Dislocations were created near the center of the surface (110) of copper small crystals whose surfaces are (111), (111), (110), (110), (112), and (112) by use of n-body atom potentials and molecular dynamics. At first, a Heidenreich-Shockley partial dislocation was created. As the partial dislocation proceeds, the partial dislocation and the surface was connected with a stacking fault until the next Heidenreich-Shockley partial dislocation was created at the surface. Just before the creation of a partial dislocation the stress was the highest. For larger crystals, forming a step on (11) plane was not enough and a shear was necessary to move dislocations.
