The extended dislocation formed on the basal plane of Hexagonal closed packed structure are sessile dislocation.

The extended dislocation formed on the basal plane of Hexagonal closed packed structure are sessile dislocation. Correct Answer False

Dislocations in the basal plane can reduce their energy by dissociating into Shockley partials according to the reaction. (a0/3) → (a0/3) + (a0/3) The stacking fault produced by this reaction lies in the basal plane, and the extended dislocation which forms it is confined to glide in this plane.
