A study has been made of the dislocations found in molybdenum ditelluride. Three different types were observed: undissociated dislocations, widely dissociated ribbons, and ribbons of an intermediate width. The γ/λ ratio was determined for each type of dislocation and found to lie in the range 10−11 to 6.2 × 10−12 cm. In addition an estimation was made of both the growth fault and deformation fault probabilities.
