Abstract

ABSTRACTIt has been known for many years that the presence of a distribution of domain boundaries in crystals with ordered superlattice structures can affect both the separation of glissile superpartial dislocations and the yield stress. Based on the details of the interactions between the domain boundaries and glissile extended superdislocations, we incorporate the effects of the thin band of perfect crystal that arises whencoupled superpartial dislocations straddle a domain boundary, and the additional domain boundary area createdonce the whole superdislocation has passed through. If these effects are included then, in an ordered phase containing many domains, we would expect the equilibrium separation of the coupled superpartial dislocations to vary more significantly with domain size than is predicted by previous models. These effects also change the way in which yield stress is predicted to vary with domain size. This variation gives a much better match to published experimental data than existing models.
