  2. Crystallographic defect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallographic_defect

    Line defects can be described by gauge theories. Dislocations are linear defects, around which the atoms of the crystal lattice are misaligned. [14] There are two basic types of dislocations, the edge dislocation and the screw dislocation. "Mixed" dislocations, combining aspects of both types, are also common. An edge dislocation is shown. The ...

  3. Dislocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dislocation

    Schematic diagram (lattice planes) showing an edge dislocation. Burgers vector in black, dislocation line in blue. A crystalline material consists of a regular array of atoms, arranged into lattice planes. An edge dislocation is a defect where an extra half-plane of atoms is introduced midway through the crystal, distorting nearby planes of atoms.

  4. Disclination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disclination

    Formation of two disclinations (right) out of a dislocation (left) on an otherwise hexagonal background. In 2D, disclinations and dislocations are point defects instead of line defects as in 3D. They are topological defects and play a central role in melting of 2D crystals within the KTHNY theory, based on two Kosterlitz–Thouless transitions.

  5. Stacking fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking_fault

    Splitting into two partial dislocations is favorable because the energy of a line defect is proportional to the square of the burger’s vector magnitude. For example, an edge dislocation may split into two Shockley partial dislocations with burger’s vector of 1/6<112>. [4] This direction is no longer in the closest packed direction, and ...

  6. Slip (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_(materials_science)

    Edge dislocations have the direction of the Burgers vector perpendicular to the dislocation line, while screw dislocations have the direction of the Burgers vector parallel to the dislocation line. The type of dislocations generated largely depends on the direction of the applied stress, temperature, and other factors.

  7. Dislocation creep - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dislocation_creep

    In the centre of the circle, the source will produce a new dislocation, and this process will produce a sequence of concentric dislocations on top of each other. Frank–Read sources are also created when screw dislocations double cross-slip (change slip planes twice), as the jogs in the dislocation line pin the dislocation in the 3rd plane.

  8. Weak-beam dark-field microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak-beam_dark-field...

    Weak beam dark field (WBDF) microscopy is a type of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) dark field imaging technique that allows for the visualization of crystal defects with high resolution and contrast. Specifically, the technique is mainly used to study crystal defects such as dislocations, stacking faults, and interfaces in crystalline ...

  9. Crystal structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_structure

    Dislocations in a crystal lattice are line defects that are associated with local stress fields. Dislocations allow shear at lower stress than that needed for a perfect crystal structure. [14] The local stress fields result in interactions between the dislocations which then result in strain hardening or cold working.
