Stacking fault
• A set of (111) plane (viewed from the edge) has a missing middle A
plane with a Burgers vector (ao/3) [111] perpendicular to the central
stacking fault.
• Unlike perfect dislocation, Frank partial dislocation cannot move
by glide (sessile dislocation) but by diffusion of atom.

Jogs are steps on the dislocation which move it from one atomic
slip plane to another.
Superjog is a jog that has more than one atomic slip plane spacing high.

Dislocation-point defect interactions
Point defect and dislocation will interact elastically and
exert forces on each other.
