Classical Theory Of Crystal Dislocations: From Iron To Gallium Nitride

Download or read book Classical Theory Of Crystal Dislocations: From Iron To Gallium Nitride written by Hiroyasu Saka and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book consists of two parts: Part 1 is a standard text of dislocation theory. Mathematics is avoided as much as possible. Part 2 describes application of dislocation theory, which includes mechanical properties (including the inverse temperature dependence of strength) and dislocations in functional materials such as Si, GaN and SiC and dislocations in a thin crystal such as an epitaxial layer. This is what has been long anticipated among researchers in industry.The book contains about 330 illustrations (mostly originals by the author) and the pictures obtained by the author by means of in-situ experiment in a transmission electron microscope over the past 50 years.This book includes many exercises, which the author found useful when he was teaching in Department of Materials Science and Engineering of Nagoya University to stimulate their interests in dislocation theory.
