| 1. | The stresses caused by an edge dislocation are complex due to its inherent asymmetry.
|
| 2. | Edge dislocations form so called tilt walls, while screw dislocations form twist walls.
|
| 3. | Slip occurs by dislocation glide of either screw or edge dislocations within a slip plane.
|
| 4. | Edge dislocations form the edge of an extra layer of atoms inside the crystal lattice.
|
| 5. | Edge dislocations are caused by the termination of a plane of atoms in the middle of a crystal.
|
| 6. | There are two types of dislocations in crystals that can induce slip-edge dislocations and screw dislocations.
|
| 7. | A pure edge dislocation is shown at the island interface to illustrate the relieved structure of the cluster.
|
| 8. | In the case of an edge dislocation, a half plane of atoms is wedged between two planes of atoms.
|
| 9. | Another crude analogy : Think of a crystal with line defects ( edge dislocations and screw dislocations but not disclinations ).
|
| 10. | Where the orientation of the dislocation line changes, a screw dislocation can continue as an edge dislocation and vice versa.
