Screw dislocations play an important role in materials’ mechanical, electrical and optical properties. However, imaging the atomic displacements in screw dislocations remains challenging. Although ...
The relaxed state of a type of topological defect (screw dislocation) located in a dispersive (non-local) elastic solid is discussed from a viewpoint of gauge field theory. The starting point of this ...
The diagram shows the effect of 'sliding' an Edge (a), Screw (b), or Mixed (c) dislocation completely across a slip plane in the crystal. Each dislocation has the same effect as it moves completely ...
