How Can Edge Dislocations be Controlled or Manipulated?
Controlling edge dislocations involves several techniques such as annealing, strain engineering, and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Annealing can help to reduce dislocation density by allowing atoms to move and reconfigure into a lower energy state. Strain engineering can introduce controlled dislocations to enhance material properties. CVD techniques can aid in the growth of nanomaterials with minimal defects.
