Injustice to metallurgists !!!!!!!!!
Here are a few of the major milestones in the discovery of dislocations: | |||||||
| Theory of Elasticity | Timpe (1905) Volterra (1907) | ||||||
| Theoretical shear limit | Frenkel (1926) | ||||||
| "Verhakungen" | Dehlinger (1929) | ||||||
| Postulate of (edge) dislocations | Orowan (1934) Polanyi (1934) Taylor (1934) | ||||||
| Postulate of screw dislocations | Burgers (1939) | ||||||
| Multiplication mechanisms of dislocations | Frank-Read (1950) | ||||||
| Direct observation of dislocations (TEM) | Hirsch et al. (1956) | ||||||
| Dislocation free Si crystal growth | Dash (1960) | ||||||
These discoveries solved the 3000 year old puzzles of metallurgy! But no Noble prizes were awarded and mankind hardly noticed that something big has happened. What a grave injustice to metallurgists !!!!!!! | |||||||
