The aim is to understand the behavior of dislocations in solid crystals under stress.
Examined interactions between parallel coplanar dislocations
Analyzed annihilation behavior when dislocations collide
Dislocations with opposite Burgers vectors annihilate each other upon collision
Findings indicate complex behavior in cholesteric materials
Resumen
When two parallel coplanar dislocations with opposite Burgers vectors are brought by action of a stress into a collision in solid crystals, they annihilate each other. In cholesterics with the...
