Fig. 5

Dislocation annihilation. Dislocations are represented by a 5-7 pair in blue and red. a The grain is shown in yellow, the matrix in light green. We colored the planes along which the dislocations have glided in dark green in order to keep track of the paths on which they glided. b Dislocations A, B, C with Burgers vectors \(1/2[1\sqrt {3}0]\), [100], \(1/2[1 \overline {\sqrt {3}}0]\) recombine to form two dislocations with Burgers vectors [100]
