Q2. Give the Burger vector reaction that result in Cottrell lock.
Ans:
There are four possible reactions that can result in Cottrell Lock. [If you write any one of these
reactions, you get full credits for this question.]

Q3. Give the line direction of dislocation and the plane of the resultant lock.
Ans:
Line direction can be obtained by cross product of the two planes i.e.
(1 1 1) X (1 1 1
) = [1 0 1
] (this is the line direction of the dislocation)

Plane of the resultant lock can be obtained by cross product of line direction and burger vector of the
dislocation. Hence
Plane = [1 0 1
] X [1 0 1] = (0 1 0)

Clearly, the above resultant dislocation is sessile because it does not lie on a (1 1 1) plane.
