Dislocations, one of the key entities in materials science, govern the properties of any crystalline material. Thus, understanding their life cycle, from creation to annihilation via motion and ...
Body-centred cubic (bcc) metals exhibit a distinct plastic response arising from the motion and interaction of dislocations, line defects whose behaviour departs markedly from that in close-packed ...
Today’s commercial SiC substrates are riddled with these atomic-scale imperfections, with thousands threading through each ...
Jogs and kinks are atomic scale changes in direction of a dislocation line. Jogs are out of the slip plane and kinks lie in the dislocations slip plane. For the edge dislocation shown, the jogs are of ...
Dislocation creep is a deformation mechanism transporting shear through the crystal lattice by the motion of line defects, called dislocations. This mechanism involves the elementary processes of ...
