| contents | Volterra's definition of dislocations in crystals distinguishes edge and screw defects geometrically, according to whether the Burgers vector is perpendicular or parallel to the defect. Here, we demonstrate a distinction between screw and edge dislocations that enables a unified, purely topological means of classification. Our construction relies on the construction of real or virtual disclination-line pairs at the core of the dislocation in a smectic and can be generalized to crystals with triply-periodic order. The connection between topology and geometry is exploited. |
