Fig. 2.13. The geometrical setup <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sixty degree dislocation <strong>in</strong> a z<strong>in</strong>c-blende<br />
crystal lattice (from Stirland et al. (1976))<br />
There are three possible sixty degree dislocations that could lie on one {111} plane.<br />
The core <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dislocation conta<strong>in</strong>s atoms with broken bonds and <strong>the</strong> axis <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> dislocation lies along a set <strong>of</strong> identical type atoms. If GaAs is used as an example,<br />
<strong>the</strong> broken bonds may belong to ei<strong>the</strong>r Ga or As atoms. The dislocations are called an<br />
α and β dislocation respectively depend<strong>in</strong>g on whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> broken bonds belong to Ga<br />
or As atoms respectively. This situation is illustrated <strong>in</strong> Fig. 2.14.<br />
