Abstract

Acoustic emission produced by a moving edge dislocation in an isotropic crystal is investigated theoretically. It is shown that the acoustic-emission spectrum associated with a dislocation breaking away and coming to rest is similar to that associated with the annihilation of two dislocations. In the case where a linear defect breaks away and comes to rest periodically, additional extrema appear in the acoustic-emission spectrum and the frequencies corresponding to the maxima in the spectrum are multiples of the dislocation hopping frequency between minima of the potential-energy profile. Both cases of large and small distances of the acoustic-emission detection point from a dislocation array are considered. The latter case is exemplified by experimentally observed acoustic emission associated with electric-field-stimulated motion of edge dislocations in silicon.
