keerdisdislokatsioonid

Keerdisdislokatsioonid refer to a type of crystal defect in solid materials. These are line defects where the atoms around the dislocation line are displaced from their ideal lattice positions. Specifically, a keerdisdislokatsioon is characterized by a Burgers vector that is not parallel to the dislocation line itself. The Burgers vector represents the magnitude and direction of lattice distortion.

In a pure screw dislocation, the atomic planes form a helical or spiral arrangement around the dislocation line. Imagine a stack of sheets of paper; a screw dislocation would twist these sheets into a spiral staircase. In contrast, a pure edge dislocation involves an extra half-plane of atoms inserted into the crystal lattice, creating a line of misfit. The Burgers vector for a pure edge dislocation is perpendicular to the dislocation line.

Keerdisdislokatsioonid are often described as a combination of edge and screw components. This means the dislocation line can have segments that behave like a screw dislocation and segments that behave like an edge dislocation. The overall motion and behavior of these dislocations within a crystal lattice are crucial for understanding the mechanical properties of materials, such as their strength and ductility. Their movement under applied stress allows for plastic deformation. The presence and density of dislocations, including keerdisdislokatsioonid, significantly influence a material's response to mechanical forces.
