In the quest to optimize the efficiency of materials, attention is increasingly focused from the nanoscale to understanding how microscale defects, such as stacking faults and dislocations, affect the ...

Figure 1: Schematic showing the formation of chiral branched nanowires. Figure 2: Characterization of regular and chiral branched nanowires. To confirm the existence of an axial screw dislocation in ...

Nickel-cobalt (Ni-Co)-based superalloys are leading candidates for advanced turbine disks; however, their strength relies ...

· For the Screw dislocation, the Burgers vector and the Line vector are parallel. · A straight screw dislocation creates a helical configuration for the planes normal to the dislocation line. The ...

The relaxed state of a type of topological defect (screw dislocation) located in a dispersive (non-local) elastic solid is discussed from a viewpoint of gauge field theory. The starting point of this ...

· The Mixed dislocations is the most general type of unit dislocation and has an arbitrary angle between its line vector and Burgers vector. b is a constant of the dislocation. · The dislocation line ...
