§12§ §07§Along with numerous illustrative examples, this text provides an overview of the dynamic behavior of dislocations and its relation to plastic deformation. It introduces the general properties of dislocations and treats the dislocation dynamics in some detail. §16§The book gives an overview of the dynamic behavior of dislocations and its relation to plastic deformation. It introduces the general properties of dislocations and treats the dislocation dynamics in some detail. Finally, examples are described of the processes in different classes of materials, i.e. semiconductors, ceramics, metals, intermetallic materials, and quasicrystals. The processes are illustrated by many electron micrographs of dislocations under stress and by video clips taken during in situ straining experiments in a high-voltage electron microscope showing moving dislocations. Thus, the users of the book also obtain an immediate impression and understanding of dislocation dynamics. §04§General Properties of Dislocation Motion.- Experimental Methods.- Properties of Dislocations.- Dislocation Motion.- Dislocation Kinetics, Work-Hardening, and Recovery.- Dislocation Motion in Particular Materials.- Semiconductors.- Ceramic Single Crystals.- Metallic Alloys.- Intermetallic Alloys.- Quasicrystals.- Conclusion. §13§§Aus den Rezensionen:§§ §"... Das besondere an dem Buch ist jedoch, dass die ausführlich beschriebenen Experimente mit Videosequenzen ... Dieses Buch ist fraglos als Standardwerk anzusehen, das in keinem physikalisch-chemischen oder materialwissenschaftlichen Labour ... In verbindung mit dem reichhaltigen Videomaterial, eignet sich dieses Buch zudem, vortrefflich, Studenten in fortgeschrittenen Studiengängen die Versetzungsdynamik bei plastischer Verformung von Festkörpern in bisher nicht gekannter Weise zur Anschauung zu bringen."
