22: Introduction to Dislocations

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

https://www.doitpoms.ac.uk/tlplib/

Learning Objectives

On completion of this TLP you should:

  • understand the nature of dislocations both conceptually and in a real crystal structure
  • appreciate the motion of a dislocation under an applied stress
  • be aware of the methods that can be used to reveal dislocations in a crystal structure

Before you start

Most of this package assumes no prior knowledge. However, some of the more detailed explanations use the following:

  • Miller index notation for specification of crystal planes and directions
  • Bravais lattice types

It should be possible to make use of the package even without knowledge of these concepts.
