Динамические смещения атомов и атермическое скольжение дислокаций в кристаллах

A dislocation glide mechanism at low temperatures is proposed. The mechanism is based on taking into account the dynamic displacements of atoms — displacements caused by nonadiabatic transitions of atoms in a crystal with a dislocation under the action of an external force. Dynamic displacements initiate the instability of a direct dislocation of relatively low-amplitude displacements during atomic vibrations. The development of instability leads to the formation of a double kink and a dislocation shift by one interatomic distance.
