Abstract
Abstract Dislocations substructures in aluminium nitride (AIN) ceramics have been studied by transmission electron microscopy for samples plastically deformed under a high stress in the temperature range 20–800°C. The activation of basal slip ⅓ 〈1120〉(0001) as well as of the first-kind prismatic slip ⅓ 〈1120〉{1100} have been observed. In the basal plane, dislocations configurations attest to the role of the Peierls forces along the screw orientation. It is easier for a dislocation to cross-slip in the prismatic plane than to lie in the basal plane along an orientation other than the screw direction. In the basal plane as well as in the prismatic plane, no dissociation of dislocations has been resolved under weak-beam imaging conditions. Cross-slip is favoured by numerous pinning points on screw dislocations, giving rise to dipole dragging. From 20 to 500°C, AIN deformation proceeds by dislocation glide in the basal and the prismatic planes and frequent corss-slip between these two planes. At higher temper...
