Dislocations Dislocations Dislocations• Dislocations are very important imperfections in real materials.• Dislocations are line imperfections in otherwise perfect lattices.• Dislocations are formed during solidification, during processing
or when the material is deformed.• Dislocations strongly affect the mechanical, electronic and
photonic properties of materials.• There are two basic types of dislocations – edge and screw.

The perfect crystal in a) is cut and sheared one atom spacing in b) and c). The line along which the shearing occurs is a screw dislocation. A Burgers vector b is required to close a loop of equal atom spacings around the screw dislocation.

The perfect crystal in a) is cut and an extra plane of atoms is inserted in b). The bottom edge of the extra plane is an edge dislocation in c). A Burgers vector b is required to close a loop of equal atom spacings around the edge dislocation.

A mixed dislocation showing a screw dislocation at the front of the crystal gradually changing to an edge dislocation at the side of the crystal. Note that the line direction of the dislocation is parallel to the Burgers vector of the screw dislocation and perpendicular to the edge dislocation.

When a shear stress is applied to the dislocation in a) the atoms are displaced, causing the dislocation to move one Burgers vector in the slip direction b). Continued movement of the dislocation creates a step c) and the crystal is deformed. Motion of a caterpillar (or a fold in a rug) is analogous to the motion of a dislocation. Note: the slip direction is always in the direction of the Burgers vector of the dislocation.

Stress at Dislocation CoresStress contours around edge and screw dislocations. Edge dislocations are much more
complex than screw dislocations.

The core of the dislocation can accommodate a small atom such as carbon more easily than the interstitial positions of the unit cell. The carbon increases the resistance of the dislocation to move by sliding on its habit plane. This is called Cottrell locking, which increases the strength of the steel and enables working hardening. Otherwise body centered cubic materials don’t work harden because they lack a close packed habit plane necessary for dislocation interactions by cross-slip.

Control of Dislocations• Control of dislocations allow us to manipulate mechanical
properties and understand their temperature dependence.• When a shear force acting in the direction of the Burger’s vector
is applied to a crystal containing a dislocation, the dislocation can move by breaking bonds between the atoms in one plane.
• By this process, the dislocation moves through the crystal to produce a step on the exterior of the crystal.
• The process by which the dislocation moves and causes a solid to deform is called slip.

Dislocation Slip• Dislocations move more readily in some crystal planes and
directions than in others as we will see.• The slip direction of an edge dislocation is in the direction of the
Burger’s vector.• A slip plane is defined by the direction of the Burger’s vector
and the line direction of the dislocation– The line direction of a screw dislocation is in the same
direction as its Burger’s vector.– An edge dislocation has its Burger’s vector perpendicular to
the line direction of a dislocation– A dislocation having a line direction not parallel or
perpendicular to the Burger’s vector is considered a mixed dislocation.

Dislocation Slip• During slip the dislocation moves from one set of surroundings
to another identical set.• The least amount of energy expenditure requires movement in
directions in which the repeat distance is shortest, i.e., close-packed directions.
• Slip planes tend to be those planes with a high planar packing, i.e., close-packed planes.
• Slip reduces strength but increase ductility in materials.

An edge dislocation in MgO.Dislocations in ceramics and semiconductors are complicated by charges existing at their core requiring large energies for them to glide.
If these dislocations can’t glide, why do they exist and how do they move?

Fracture does not occur in these materials by dislocation glide but by cracks (surface defects).

Defects in GaAs/InGaAs LaserNote that the laser looks to have a perfect crystal structure when using the 200[011] electron diffraction vector
but actually has dislocations, which moved into the active region by creep, when viewed using the 220[110].
Dark lines are InGaAs layers and light lines are GaAs layers plus substrate and capping layers.

Dislocation Core Structure in GaAs
Definition of alpha (Ga-core) and beta (As-core) dislocations: removal of the segment 1564 leads to the formation of an As-terminated dislocation and 1234 leads to the formation of a Ga-terminated dislocation.
A Ga core will have excess holes whereas an As core will have excess electrons.

Dislocation-Dislocation Interactions
Schematic of two dislocations interacting to form three dislocations.
A FCC material such as austenite can work harden because the dislocation can interact on the close packed planes, i.e., the {111}, having Burgers vectors in the close packed directions, i.e., <110>.

Surface Defects• Surface defects are another type of imperfection in real materials.• They consist of the boundaries or planes that separate a material into regions
of different crystal structure or orientation.– The material’s surface is one example– Grain boundaries are another example of a surface defect.– Others are stacking faults, twin boundaries and magnetic domain
boundaries • As we saw in the electron images of the atoms (lattice images), grain
boundaries are narrow zones where the atoms are not properly spaced in which tension or compression exists.
• Grain size influences many material properties such as strength and electrical conductivity.

A twin boundary, which is a planar defect, is shown where a displacement of atoms by a stress reorients a volume of the crystal, which is bounded by the twin boundary.
