Discovery of double helix of screw dislocations: a perspective

We discuss the conversion of a pure screw dislocation into a helical (single helix) dislocation through absorption of vacancies. These helical dislocations having some edge and mostly screw character can pair up through attractive interaction to form a double helix. This attractive interaction betwe...
