Books in the Dislocations in Solids series

Models for dislocation structure and motion are presented for nanocrystals, nucleation at grain boundaries, shocked crystals, interphase interfaces, quasicrystals, complex structures with non-planar dislocation cores, and colloidal crystals.

Presents an atomistic model of dislocation - particle interactions in metal systems, including irradiated materials. This work provides a fresh perspective on the Hall-Petch relation, with particular emphasis on nanocrystals. It explains deviations from the traditional stress proportional to the square-root of grain size relation.

Featuring chapters on minerals and on dislocations in colloidal crystals, this title extends the first principles calculations of kink configurations in bcc metals to high pressures, including the use of flexible boundary conditions to model dilatational effects. It also includes observations of dislocations in colloidal crystals.

Covers the study of dislocations. This book discusses the influence of the structure of the core of a dislocation on its mobility. It shows how the various modern techniques of scanning probe microscopy can be used to study dislocations and their interaction with the free surface.
