Abstract
A mechanism is described requiring contact between stepped crystal faces which can lead to the formation of dislocations during crystal growth. The initiation of dislocations during both nucleation and growth is explained. Conditions under which the proposed mechanism and others previously suggested are significant are discussed qualitatively in relation to relevant experimental observations.Keywords
