In this paper, we prove the convergence from the atomistic model to the Peierls–Nabarro (PN) model of two-dimensional bilayer system with complex lattice. We show that the displacement field of the dislocation solution of the PN model converges to the dislocation solution of the atomistic model with second-order accuracy. The consistency of PN model and the stability of atomistic model are essential in our proof. The main idea of our approach is to use several low-degree polynomials to approximate the energy due to atomistic interactions of different groups of atoms of the complex lattice.
