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 ...

The importance of edge dislocation in this process was confirmed using different experimental techniques. 'We also made an atomic model for screw dislocations, which was too complicated for the ...

For both jogs and kinks the Burgers vector and line vector are those of the dislocation, the line vector being along the direction of the jog or the kink. These features may therefore be of a ...

A judiciously placed screw dislocation allows optical signals to wind around the surface of a synthetic lattice while keeping it protected from scattering. Their discovery has recently been published ...

While SiC wafers still have some way to go to become ‘defect-free’, as is the case for silicon epiwafers, much progress is being made in this direction – and our work provides another significant step ...
