The theory of dislocations is an important cornerstone in crystal physics. It was initially proposed to solve the puzzle of why a crystal yields at one-hundredth of its ideal strength 1, and among the ...

Both irradiation and dislocations have been proposed as routes to rationally manipulate spatial distribution and micromorphology of precipitate. An interesting effect ...

For nearly a century, scientists have understood how crystalline materials—such as metals and semiconductors—bend without breaking. Their secret lies in tiny, line-like defects called dislocations, ...
