Threading Dislocations Piercing the Free Surface of an Anisotropic Hexagonal Crystal: Review of Theoretical Approaches by Salem Neily, Sami Dhouibi, Roland Bonnet

“…Inclined threading dislocations (TDs) piercing the oriented free surface of a crystal are currently observed after growth of oriented thin films on substrates. Up to date the unique way to treat their anisotropic elastic properties nearby the free surface region is to use the integral formalism, which assumes no dislocation core size and needs numerical double integrations. …”
