dislocation
Blue atom are these atom which haven’t moved from its
original position, red atom have moved one atomic distance
and green atom are in process of moving. For screw dislocation
a portion of bond is broken at a given time, so small amount of
force is required to move the dislocation.
But for edge dislocation all bond are broken at the same time
so more force is required.
Plank analogy of screw dislocation : it’s easier to slide the
atom one at a time than all together.
