Abstract

We present a displacement and strain analysis of edge dislocation core in gold. The displacement and strain field around the edge dislocation were mapped by geometric phase analysis of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images. The displacement and strain measurement results were compared with the isotropic elastic theory dislocation model, the anisotropic elastic theory dislocation model, the Peierls–Nabarro dislocation model and the Foreman dislocation model (a = 4). These comparisons show that the Peierls–Nabarro model is the most appropriate theoretical model to describe the deformation fields of the dislocation core.
