Dislocation junctions and jogs in a free-standing FCC thin film have been studied using 3dimensional dislocation dynamics simulations. Due to the unconstrained motion of surface nodes and dislocation annihilation at the free surface, junctions and jogs are unstable except for some uncommon conditions. If the film thickness is thin enough for a significant portion of dislocation network to be te...
