Example 1

To provide some perspective on the dimensions of atomic defects, consider a metal specimen that has a dislocation density of $10^{5} \mathrm{mm}^{-2} .$ Suppose that all the dislocations in $1000 \mathrm{mm}^{3}\left(1 \mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)$ were somehow removed and linked end to end. How far (in miles) would this chain extend? Now suppose that the density is increased to $10^{9} \mathrm{mm}^{-2}$ by cold working. What would be the chain length of dislocations in $1000 \mathrm{mm}^{3}$ of material?
