The word displace means to push out. A more reactive element can displace a less reactive element out of its compound during a chemical reaction. Displacement reactions can be used to investigate ...

Dislocations are one-dimensional defects that occur in real crystalline solids and control their plastic deformation. The presence of dislocations permits atomic planes to slip "one atomic row at a ...

We have found an example of catalysis in which dislocations play the part of the active centre in the case of copper for the decomposition of diazonium salt (Gattermann's reaction). A sample of ...

Theory of Dislocations provides unparalleled coverage of the fundamentals of dislocation theory, with applications to specific metal and ionic crystals. Rather than citing final results, step-by-step ...

The diagram shows the effect of 'sliding' an Edge (a), Screw (b), or Mixed (c) dislocation completely across a slip plane in the crystal. Each dislocation has the same effect as it moves completely ...
