Stacking Faults
Stacking faults can be formed during:
✓ crystal growth
EXAMPLE:
•Partial dislocations
have Burgers vector →
Fraction of an
interatomic distance
FCC—ABCABC ; HCP--ABAB
Perfect Dislocations &
Shockley Partials
Shockley Partial vs Frank Partial
• A partial dislocation whose Burger vector lies on the plane of the
fault is called a Shockley partial dislocation.
EXAMPLE:
½[110]→ 1/6[21-1]+1/6[121]
