Dimensional Changes in Crystals Caused by Dislocations

Pair interaction of dislocations in two-dimensional crystals.

The pair interaction between crystal dislocations is systematically explored by analyzing particle trajectories of two-dimensional colloidal crystals measured by video microscopy. The resulting pair energies are compared to Monte Carlo data and to predictions derived from the standard Hamiltonian of the elastic theory of dislocations. Good agreement is found with respect to the distance and tem...

Strain Broadening Caused by Dislocations

Numerous experiments have shown that strain broadening caused by dislocations can be well described by a special logarithmic series expansion of the Fourier coefficients of Bragg reflection peak profiles. In the present work it will be shown that this formalism can be incorporated into the classical methods of Williamson-Hall and Warren-Averbach. The new procedures are suggested to be called mo...

Dislocations in Sodium-Chloride Crystals

Distributions of dislocations in sodium chloride crystals, which were induced by heat treatment or working, were investigated, using a newly developed etchant. The crystals, which were annealed above 3 0 0 ° C , showed reduced dislocation densities and rearranged dislocation patterns. By raising the temperature to 600 ° C or 700 ° C many elongated subboundaries or subboundaries arranged in the ...

Dislocations in cubic crystals described by discrete models

Discrete models of dislocations in cubic crystal lattices having one or two atoms per unit cell are proposed. These models have the standard linear anisotropic elasticity as their continuum limit and their main ingredients are the elastic stiffness constants of the material and a dimensionless periodic function that restores the translation invariance of the crystal and influences the dislocati...
