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 ...
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 ...
· 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 ...
