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 ...

These interruptions in periodicity include surfaces of materials, interfaces between materials, extended defects such as stacking faults or dislocations, and point defects such as dilute impurities (e ...

Jogs and kinks are atomic scale changes in direction of a dislocation line. Jogs are out of the slip plane and kinks lie in the dislocations slip plane. For the edge dislocation shown, the jogs are of ...
