SummaryThe influence of degree of dissociation on the diffraction contrast from a Frank dislocation for lll, 220, and 020 reflections has been investigated using the technique devised by Head and Humble for computing electron microscope images.The diffraction contrast from a dissociated Frank dislocation differs in several ways from that of an undissociated dislocation. For 111 reflections, strong contrast occurs when g. u oF O. For 220 reflections, images are single and continuous with strong contrast on one side only. The strong contrast does not invert from side to side for +g and -g. For 020 reflections the extent to which reversal of contrast occurs in ± g is a function of g, the beam direction, and the separation of the Shockley and stair-rod dislocations.The computations for an undissociated Frank dislocation are in general agreement with previous computations, but indicate that a Frank dislocation may show strong contrast for certain beam directions when g. b = ±l.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
