Dislocations and Dislocation Dynamics

Catalog description

Fundamentals of dislocations in crystalline solids and the dynamical behavior of dislocations. Topics covered include: elastic properties of dislocations, dislocation interactions, intersections, arrays, nucleation and sources. Thermally activated glide and climb are addressed along with statistical aspects of dislocation obstacle interactions. Partial dislocations, faults and unique aspects of dislocations in metals, semiconductors, ceramics and intermetallics are covered.
