The diagram shows the location of atoms close to an edge dislocation line that runs back into the screen. The green circle outlines a group of atoms close to the dislocation line that have larger ...

The energy of a dislocation depends on its position in its slip plane. The diagram represents a slip plane with a position dependent potential having a period, a, determined by the location of rows of ...

Researchers show that Cartan's First Structure Equation links crystal defects to the same mathematical rules governing electric currents and magnetic fields.
