Dislocations in zincblende and wurtzite lattices 9 3 Dislocations in zincblende and wurtzite lattices In the zincblende and wurtzite structures, which consist of close packed double layers Ab-Bc- Ca and Ab-Bc-Ab, respectively the {111} and {0001} may be regarded as preferred planes in which lattice slip processes can proceed. In Figure 5 dislocation glide is demonstrated to be realized in two parallel slip planes differing in their positions indicated as “glide-set” (ss) and “shuffle-set” (gs), respectively. (a) (b) (c) Figure 5. Extra half planes (EHP) terminating on shuffle- and glide-set slip plane of ZB and WZ type lattices. (a) EHP (-111), (b) EHP(10-10), (c) Double EHP (11-20). Consequently, the extra lattice plane defining an edge dislocation may come about in two modifications as glide-set and shuffle-set [hir82]. They end up in distinct atomic positions as can be deduced from Figure 5. Thus, depending on using ss or gs-type of slip plane, the dislocation core is made up by A or B atoms, respectively. These edge atoms define the A or B polarity of core structure in the ZB and wurtzite WZ structure crystal lattice. 10 Dislocations in zincblende and wurtzite lattices It must be mentioned that if the dislocation turns from gsñss, the polarity of core structure is inverted. The Huenfeld Convention [proc79] gives the following definitions: Table 3-1.: The Huenfeld convention for polar core structures [proc79]. Glide-set EHP termination EHP termination Shuffle-set
