From: Effects of precipitates and dislocation loops on the yield stress of irradiated iron
Close-up view of the 3D structure of a dislocation system with glissile dislocation loops at a strain of ε = 0.5%. Different Burgers vectors are indicated with different colors as follows: dark blue \(b=\frac{1}{2}\langle 111\rangle \), cyan \(b=\frac{1}{2}\langle 11\bar{1}\rangle \), green \(b=\frac{1}{2}\langle \bar{1}11\rangle \), and red \(b=\frac{1}{2}\langle 1\bar{1}1\rangle \). Continuous dislocations and loops evolve into a complex network where they pin to each other. a) Loop dipole b) dislocation pinned by loops c) loops decorating a dislocation d) complex junction. The loop radius is r l  = 5 nm.
