The Lomer–Cottrell junction is a type of defect in crystalline materials, specifically in the context of dislocations. It represents a particular arrangement where two edge dislocations intersect, leading to a localized area of distortion in the crystal lattice. This junction plays a significant role in the mechanics of materials, particularly those undergoing plastic deformation.
