(a) A mixed dislocation of Burgers vector showing the edge part on the plane (x,y) and the screw part along z. (b) The same object analysed as a two-dimensional tiling is a partial dislocation bounded by a planar defect of vertically oriented rhombi; as shown in (a), this defect is a dislocation of the -module generated by the projection of the three-dimensional simple cubic lattice onto the (x,y) plane: it is a module dislocation. (c) Generating a similar module dislocation but from the cut of a four-dimensional hypercubic crystal makes the area's overall relief much more difficult to grasp. |
