G. Molenat et al., SUBSTRUCTURE OF DISLOCATIONS IN THE (111) PLANE IN NI3GA SINGLE-CRYSTALS, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 164(1-2), 1993, pp. 407-410
The weak-beam transmission electron microscopy imaging method was used
to investigate the core structure of the [101BAR] (111) dislocations
in an Ni3Ga single crystal predeformed at 20-degrees-C, 200-degrees-C
and 400-degrees-C. Two different sessile configurations were identifie
d, corresponding respectively to a very short-range cross-slip process
and a long-range cross-slip process (Kear-Wilsdorf configuration) ont
o the (010) cube cross-slip plane. Both sessile configurations were ob
served to unlock by the reverse cross-slip process leading to their fo
rmation: the first at low and possibly high temperatures, and the seco
nd at high temperatures only.
