How to create Burgers circuit in HRTEM images?

Greetings to all. I am currently working on some TEM and HRTEM images that I took during my Master's thesis research. I have encountered some obstacles in my efforts to create the Burgers circuit and investigate dislocation cores. I would appreciate any assistance from anyone who has some experience in this area.

The Burgers circuit is a theoretical concept and not necessarily realistically applicable to directly observed lattices by TEM or HRTEM/SEM. Some test book like Kittel's Intro to Solid State say look at the lattice on an angle and find the dislocation plane(s) and mark off circuit around the core. Good luck.

How to formulate Energy minimization in Molecular dynamics simulation for alloys using meam potential?

during MD simulation, the atoms are not moving as per required. The problem (as per my observation) lies in energy minimization technique. upon application of tensile strain in x or y direction,...

Specify the Burgers vectors for dislocations, which cannot be uniquely identified.?

1. A bcc metal single crystal was sliced along (1 -1 0) plane for TEM study. Assuming that the TEM available is equipped with a goniometer stage which tilts up to 45o. The Burgers vector of...

Is it possible to get higher order of diffraction (n>1) in HRTEM?

The SAED pattern, we obtained from HRTEM shows the interplanar spacing (d) that corresponds to a higher 2theta value than the Powder crystal X-ray diffraction pattern for the same organic...

Hi Is it needed to etch a sample in order to see dislocations? SEM or TEM microscope should be used for that?

hi please I have Al/W sample and I am looking for screw dislocations on the intermetallic surface, my question is: Should the sample be etched? and should I use the SEM or TEM microscopy? what...

What is the main mechanism of failure for fatigue?

Dear Researchers; I have reviewed the mechanisms which cause fatigue failure, including the Wood and the Newman mechanisms, but they are both based on the movement of dislocations and slip-planes....

How is dislocation density related to bulk defect density?

In materials science, a dislocation (line defect) represents a linear crystallographic defect within the crystal structure, which causes an abrupt change in the arrangement of atoms, which in turn...
