Dislocations in Solids,
Description
This is the first volume to appear under the joint editorship of J.P. Hirth and F.R.N. Nabarro. While Volume 11 concentrated on the single
topic of dislocations and work hardening, the present volume spreads over the whole range of the study of dislocations from the application
by Kl man and his colleagues of homotopy theory to classifying the line and point defects of mesomorphic phases to Chaudhri's account
of the experimental observations of dislocations formed around indentations.
Chapter 64, by Cai, Bulatove, Chang, Li and Yip,
discusses the influence of the structure of the core of a dislocation on its mobility. The power of modern computation allows this topic
to be treated from the first principles of electron theory, and with empirical potentials for more complicated problems. Advances in
electron microscopy allow these theoretical predictions to be tested.
In Chapter 65, Xu analyzes the emission of dislocations
from the tip of a crack and its influence on the brittle to ductile transition. Again, the treatment is predominantly theoretical, but
it is consistently related to the very practical example of alpha iron.
In a dazzling interplay of experiment and abstract mathematics,
Kl man, Lavrentovich and Nastishin analyze the line and point structural defects of the many mesomorphic phases which have become known
in recent years.
Chapter 67, by Coupeau, Girard and Rabier, is essentially experimental. It shows how the various modern techniques
of scanning probe microscopy can be used to study dislocations and their interaction with the free surface.
Chapter 68, by Mitchell
and Heuer, considers the complex dislocations that can form in ceramic crystals on the basis of observations by transmission electron
microscopy and presents mechanistic models for the motion of the dislocations in various temperature regimes.
While the underlying
aim of the study of dislocations in energetic crystals by Armstrong and Elban in Chapter 69 is to understand the role of dislocations
in the process of detonation, it has the wider interest of studying dislocations in molecular crystals which are ``elastically soft,
plastically hard, and brittle''.
Chaudhri in Chapter 70 discusses the role of dislocations in indentation processes, largely
on the basis of the elastic analysis by E.H. Yoffe. The special case of nanoindentations is treated only briefly.
