| ยท The active diagram shows an array of atoms in a simple cubic lattice. Application of a shear force in the horizontal direction creates an edge dislocation and moves it through the crystal. The net effect is to displace the material above the slip plane (the brown line) by one Burgers vector with respect to the material below the slip plane. | ||||
