    The document discusses different types of dislocations, which are line defects in crystals caused by slip along crystal planes. There are two main types of dislocations: edge and screw. It also discusses Burgers circuits and vectors used to characterize dislocations and how dislocations can move through the crystal lattice by glide or climb. Partial dislocations are discussed where a full dislocation can dissociate into two partial dislocations in close-packed crystal structures like FCC lattices. A model for computing the energy of dislocations is also briefly mentioned.

    Dislocations (line defects)

    Defects due to slip on a crystal plane. Two main types: edge and screw.
    a) perfect crystal; b) mixed dislocation; c) screw dislocation; d) perfect
    crystal with surface step.

    Burgers vector
    Burgers circuits of an edge dislocation [(a) and (c)] and a screw e
    dislocation [(b) and (d)].

    Partila dislocation in fcc lattices.


    Two lattice planes. Top: dislocation line visibile, row of atoms missing.
    Below: slip of a group of atoms causes dissociation of dislocation into two
    partials (Burgers vector < interatomic distance).

    Model to compute the dislocation energy.
