Generally in alloys and Intermetallics, we have studied a perfect dislocation having Burgers vector b1 dissociates in to two partials having Burgers vector b2 and b3 bounded by 2D defects such as SF/APB respectively. This is based upon the energy criteria (b22+b32 < b12) and vector addition also. I have seen in certain theoretical calculations: a perfect dislocation getting dissociated in to two perfect dislocations based upon the criteria (b22+b32=b12). What is the basis of this? Can we have a dissociation like [-111] to [-100] and [011]? Let's say in the context of BCC crystals!!
