The weak beam technique as applied to the determination of the stacking-fault energy of copper

Abstract The weak beam technique is used to obtain a value for the stacking-fault energy of copper. The observed partial dislocation image spacings are compared with many-beam computational models and it is demonstrated that anisotropic elasticity theory breaks down for small partial dislocation spacings in copper.
