“Symmetrie wird durch kleine Abweichungen von exakter Regelmäßigkeit erst faszinierend: Kein Kristall ohne Baufehler, kein Mosaik ohne kleine Störungen, und selbst die Navaho-Indianer bauten in ihre Teppiche einen weißen Faden ein, damit die bösen Geister entweichen können.”
[Hahn 2000]

Dislocation etch pits
Formation of etch pits at the intersection of dislocations with the surface.
(a) The cylinder around an edge dislocation represents the region with different chemical and physical properties.
(b) A conical pit forms due to preferential removal of atoms from the imperfect region. Emergent site of a screw dislocation. The pit forms due to the chemical resolution as a reverse process to crystal growth.

Dislocation imaging in TEM
! Dislocations are visible in diffraction contrast through their strain field,
giving rise to a local bending of the lattice plane.! Parameters to be determined: magnitude and direction of b and !, slip plane
! Imaging of dislocation configurations: interactions, helix structures, tangles
etc.! Determination of the dislocation density! Imaging of defects on the dislocation line, such as jogs and kinks,
determination of dislocation dissociation
