Dislocations in Solids vol 12

Preface
This is the first volume to appear under our joint editorship. 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 Kléman 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.
Chaper 64, by Cai, Bulatov, Chang 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, Kléman, 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 howthe
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.
