It is known that grain boundaries (GBs) provide sinks for defects induced into a solid by irradiation. At the same time radiation can change the atomic structure and chemistry of GBs, which in turn ...

The diagram shows the effect of 'sliding' an Edge (a), Screw (b), or Mixed (c) dislocation completely across a slip plane in the crystal. Each dislocation has the same effect as it moves completely ...

· 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 ...
