Figure 8
(a) Relaxed prismatic dislocation loop with b = [101] at the centre of a 30 × 30 × 30 nm Wulff copper crystal. The colour code represents the coordination number, such that only the defective atoms and nanocrystal edges are shown. The loop decomposes into partial dislocations in its ( ) and ( ) slip planes. (b) The same dislocation loop viewed along the [101] direction. Calculated CXD pattern for g||b (g = 202) (c), g|| (g = 422) (d), g·b = 0 and g·(b × t) ≠ 0 (g = ) (e), and g·b = 0 and g·(b × t) = 0 (g = 020) (f). The selected area of the reciprocal space is kept to the same value in all figures and is equal to 0.045 × 0.0675 Å−1. |
