In FCC crystals the a/2* unit dislocations can dissociate to produce a ribbon of stacking fault. Which among the following is as an example of the same? ->a/6* + a/6 b) a/2*->a/6* + a/6 c) a/2*->a/6* + a/6 d) a/2*->a/6* + a/6

In FCC crystals the a/2* unit dislocations can dissociate to produce a ribbon of stacking fault. Which among the following is as an example of the same? ->a/6* + a/6 b) a/2*->a/6* + a/6 c) a/2*->a/6* + a/6 d) a/2*->a/6* + a/6 Correct Answer unit dislocations can dissociate to produce a ribbon of stacking fault. Which among the following is as an example of the same? ] a/2*->a/6* + a/6

a/2*->a/6* + a/6* is an example and this gives a stacking fault on (111) separated by two Shockley partials. Since the stacking fault is in effect four close-packed layers of hcp crystal, it can act as a very potent nucleation site for an hcp precipitate.
