Abstract
An analysis is presented of the new types of defects that can appear in crystalline structures where the positions of the atoms and the unit cell belong to the same {\bb Z}-module,i.e.are irrational projections of anN> 3-dimensional (N-D) lattice Λ as in the case of quasicrystals. Beyond coherent irrationally oriented twins already discussed in a previous paper [Quiquandonet al.(2016).Acta Cryst.A72, 55–61], new two-dimensional translational defects are expected, the translation vectors of which, being projections of nodes of Λ, have irrational coordinates with respect to the unit-cell reference frame. Partial dislocations, called heremodule dislocations, are the linear defects bounding these translation faults. A specific case arises when the Burgers vectorBis the projection of a non-zero vector of Λ that is perpendicular to the physical space. This new kind of dislocation is called ascalar dislocationsince, because its Burgers vector in physical space is zero, it generates no displacement field and has no interaction with external stress fields and other dislocations.Keywords
