Burgers vector (plural Burgers vectors)
An image describing how to determine the Burgers vector in a lattice distortion. The red vector is the Burgers vector.
(crystallography) A mathematical vector that represents the magnitude and direction of the distortion in a dislocation in a crystal lattice.
The dislocation line is presented in blue, the Burgers vector b in black. Source: Internet
The direction and magnitude of such distortion is expressed in terms of a Burgers vector (b). Source: Internet
The perturbation carried by the dislocation ( Burgers vector ) is along a dense direction. Source: Internet
