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 !!!!!!! |
