Dislocation Nucleation

Dislocation Nucleation is a fundamental process in dislocation theory that refers to the formation of new dislocations within a crystalline material, distinguished from other dislocation-related mechanisms by its role in initiating plastic deformation through the creation of dislocation defects at energetically favorable sites such as stress concentrations, surfaces, or interfaces.
