Question:

To provide some perspective on the dimensions of atomic defects, consider a metal specimen that has a dislocation density of 10⁴ mm^-2. Suppose that all the dislocations in 1000 mm³ (1 cm³) were somehow removed and linked end to end. How far (in miles) would this chain extend? Now suppose that the density is increased to 10¹⁰ mm^-2 by cold working. What would be the chain length of dislocations in 1000 mm³ of material?
