Best Answer

Dislocation density is the areal density of dislocations intersecting a plain, usually the free surface, given as number per cm2.

It may also be the volume density of dislocation line segments, given as the total length of dislocations divided by the containing volume (also 1/cm2), but this is rarely used in semiconductor physics, and more frequently found in engineering.

Dislocation density is typically measured by etching the free surface to form pits around the location at which the dislocation breeches the surface, and is termed etch pit density, or EPD.

What is a frank reed dislocation?

A Frank-Read dislocation is a type of dislocation that forms when two dislocations with opposite line directions interact and create a new 'jogged' dislocation. This type of dislocation can contribute to the hardening of materials through dislocation tangles and obstacles in the crystal structure.


Why ledeburite hardness more than per-lite hardness plus cementite hardness although ledeburite is per-lite plus cementite?

probably because of different thermal expansion of carbide matrix phase with pearlite or austenite disperses, at cooling a high dislocation density apears in phases, especially deformable one, and this high dislocation density is responsible for higher hardness

What is the difference between a dislocation and a subluxation?

Subluxation is a partial dislocation. A dislocation is a severe injury in which the articular surfaces of joint is no longer in contact & a subluxation is a partial or incomplete displacement of the joint surface.


What is the definition for sessile?

sessile means attached at the base; fixed to one spot, not able to move about. >> Dislocation can not move through glide are known as `Sessile dislocation' . for example; `Frank partial dislocation' can not move through glide as known as sessile dislocation. >> It is an immobile dislocation. >> Movement is possible only by climb process.

What is difference between sessile dislocation and glissile dislocation?

a sessile dislocation has a burger's vector that does notlie in the primary slip plane of the crystal, so it is immobile.a glissile dislocation has a burger's vector that doeslie in the primary slip plane of the crystal and thus is able to move in that plane.


What happens if you dont treat a dislocation?

If a dislocation is not treated, it will continue to cause pain, be dysfunctional and can "freeze" in place.
