<Frederick Charles Frank> helped develop the theory of <dislocations> and <crystal growth>. A <dislocation> can influence how new atomic layers form at a <crystal> surface, linking a defect inside a solid to its growth behaviour. The University of Bristol's history identifies these fields, together with surface physics, as major parts of his work.https://www.bristol.ac.uk/physics/about/history.html[Charles Frank and the theory of dislocations and crystal growth]{ref}
