a Schematic of an A2 segment formed by a glissile+coplanar mechanism, following the glissile junction formation shown in Fig. 6a, with i=A3, j=B2, k=A6. Both A3 and A6 are active and can bow out to form a new A2 link. G, P and L refer to the type of link end nodes (see text). b Two consecutive DDD snapshots showing the glissile+coplanar mechanism. Only dislocations on one plane of type A and dislocations on slip system B2 are shown. c Two consecutive DDD snapshots showing the coplanar (A3+A6=A2) mechanism. Only the dislocations on a single plane of type A are shown. In b and c, the scale bar is in units of b=0.255 nm, and the coloring scheme is consistent with a
