This size is known as the Burgers vector, b, of the dislocation and is shown in blue on the diagram. The Line direction (red) of each dislocation is shown. For an Edge dislocation, the Burgers vector ...

· 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 ...
