Crystallography and crystal defects pdf

This new edition of Crystallography and Crystal Defects explains the modern concepts of crystallography in a clear, succinct manner and shows how to apply these concepts in the analyses of point, line and planar defects in crystalline materials

Original source references to key crystallographic terms familiar to materials scientists

The last family of crystal defects we will consider in this lecture are the planar defects

As the word implies, the defect originated at a planar locus in the crystal, although the strain field can propagate some way away from the plane

Although other types of planar defects exist (for example, the twin planes), here we will only consider the stacking faults
