The alternating current (AC) conductivity in semiconductor crystals with an open-core screw dislocation is studied in the current work. The screw dislocation in crystalline media results in an effective potential field which affects the electronic transport properties of the system. Therefore, from a technological view point, it is interesting to investigate properties of AC conductivity at frequencies of a few terahertz. To quantify the screw-induced potential effect, we calculated the AC conductivity of dislocated crystals using the Kubo formula. The conductivity showed peaks within the terahertz frequency region, where the amplitude of the AC conductivity was large enough to be measured in experiments. The measurable conductivity peaks did not arise in dislocation-free crystals threaded by a magnetic flux tube. These results imply different conductivity mechanisms in crystals with a screw dislocation than those threaded by a magnetic flux tube, despite the apparent similarity in their electronic eigenstates.

Purpose: There are so many different methods with the their own advantages and disadvantages for acute AC dislocation and distal unstable clavicle fracture. We evaluated the usefulness of temporary Bosworth's coracoclavicular fixations using the cannulated screw and reviewed our clinical results. Materials and Methods: We evaluated 34 cases of temporary coracoclavicular fixations with cannulated screw and washer for acute AC dislocation(25cases in the Type V, Ⅲ) and distal unstable clavicle fracture(9cases in the Type ⅡB, Ⅱ+Ⅲ). All cases were fixed by the same techniques, guided cannulated screw under C-arm after the repair of the CC ligament within 1 week. Bases on the regular check, screws were removed at the 6-12 weeks under local anesthesia. The final clinical and radiological results(average 14 months follow-up) were rated with the UCLA scale. Results : All shoulders were gained nearly full ROM passively at the 3-4 weeks. The overall satisfactory resuIts(excellent or good) were achieved 88%(22/25) in the acute AC dislocation and all in the distal unstable clavicle fracture. There were no definite complications except three initial fixations loosening. Conclusion: Temporary Bosworth's coracoclavicular fixation using the cannulated screw with guided pin was simple precedure and provided enough initial stability for acute AC dislocation and distal unstable clavicle fracture.

Atlantoaxial rotatory dislocation [AARD] is an uncommon disorder of childhood in which clinical diagnosis is generally difficult and often made late. It is very rare in adults because of the unique biomechanical features of the atlantoaxial articulation. We report a case of post-traumatic AARD in an adult. Reduction was difficult to obtain by skull traction and gentle manipulation. Therefore, the patient was treated surgically by an open reduction, transpedicular screw fixation, and posterior C1-2 wiring with graft. The normal atlantoaxial relation was restored with disappearance of torticollis. Postoperatively, the patient remains neurologically intact and has radiographic documentation of fusion. Atlantoaxial transpedicular screw fixation can be one of the treatment options for the AARD.

Tarsometatarsal fracture-dislocation is uncommon but severe lesion. Since this lesion is sometimes difficult to recognize by roentgenography, it is easily overlooked. Three patients were treated with open reduction and internal fixation with 3.5 mm cannulated screw and K-wire, two had treatment with open reduction and internal fixation with 3.5 mm cannulated screw only and two had treatment with dosed reduction and short leg cast only between January 1994 and May 1996. The duration of follow-up ranged from twelve to twenty-nine months after the diagnosis. Results were assessed by a subjective questiormaire, physical examination, and radiographic analysis. Multiple fixation techniques for maintaining the reduction of tarsometatarsl joint have been introduced. We recent]y used the 3.5 mm cannulated screw for internal fixation of the tarso-first and second metatarsal fracture-dislocation. We think cannulated screw fixation has several advantages; 1. The cannulated screw fixation is more rigid than the K-wire fixation. 2. There is an decreased risk of screw breakage with early weight bearing. 3. It is possible to compress the involved joints, if necessary. There were no disability in all patients. One patient who was treated with delayed open reduction and internal fixation with 3.5 mm cannulated screw and K-wire had a radiographic mild degenerative arthritis. And one patient who was treated with dosed reduction and short leg cast had a mild metatarsus adductus. But. these two patients were symptom free. There was no correlation between the severity of the diastasis and the patient s functional result.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to retrospectively analyze the clinical results of screws and Kirschner wire (K-wire) fixation in patients with fracture dislocation of Lisfranc joint and the consequence of screw breakage. Materials and Methods: Sixty patients underwent Lisfranc joint open reduction and removal of internal fixators from January 2007 to December 2011. Forty-nine cases (81.7%) underwent operations with screw alone, and 11 cases (18.3%) underwent operations with both screws and K-wires. Type of internal fixators, duration of internal fixator removal, breakage of internal fixators and satisfaction with reduction were investigated. Additionally, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) midfoot scales were analyzed. Results: The internal fixator was broken in 5 cases (8.3%). The average duration of instrument removal was 154 days in the non-broken screw group and 268.6 days in the broken screw group (p<0.05). The average AOFAS midfoot scale was 77.4 in the non-broken screw group and 74.2 in the broken screw group. The most commonly damaged portion was the first tarsometatarsal (Lisfranc) joint. Conclusion: Treatment with screws and K-wires was effective in patients with fracture dislocation of Lisfranc joint. The appropriate time for screw removal should be considered.

The interrelation of secondary defects, intermediate S' phase and aging condition in Al-2.0 wt% Cu-1.1 wt% Mg alloy is studied by transmission electron microscope. The results obtained in this study are as follows. 1. High density of dislocation loops, helices and stacking faults are observed in this specimen with aging treatment. 2. The number of dislocation loops and the width of loop free zone (LFZ) are increased with aging time. 3. The intermediate S' phase precipitates and grows on the dislocations and secondary defects. 4. The misfit dislocations are formed around intermediate S' phase. 5. It is thought that the helices appear to be produced by the climb of screw dislocations, while the dislocation loops appear to be formed both by condensation of vacancies into collapsed discs and by interaction of helices with screw of opposite sign.

An isolated dislocation of the intermediate cuneiform bone is a rare midfoot injury. This paper reports a case of a 60 year old man who fell from a height with his foot in the plantar flexed position. An isolated dorsal dislocation of the intermediated cuneiform was confirmed. Good results were obtained after an open reduction and internal fixation with a Lisfranc screw and Kirschner wire.

Slip lines and dislocation structures developed by deformation at 77 K, 292 K and 500 K have been investigated by an optical microscope and a high-voltage electron microscope. Slip patterns after the deformation by 4-5% at 77 K and 500 K are compared. From the slip line geometry, operation of both primary and secondary {111} slips have been confirmed. However, the primary slip lines formed at 77 K appear coarser and more pronounced than those at 500 K. This indicates that a larger number of dislocations have moved on the same plane at 77 K. Another characteristic difference noted here is that the slip lines are straight and pass through the specimen from one end to the other at 77 K. On the contrary, slip lines are rather faint at 500 K. The typical change found at 77 K is the increase in the [$0{\bar{1}}1$] dipole dislocations and generation of the [$10{\bar{1}}$] screw dipoles upon increase in the strain from 1.2% to 5.2%. This is the indication that the straight dipole dislocations were formed by a pinning effect due to jogs generated by mutual cutting between primary and secondary dislocations. Extremely fine slip has been noted after deformation at 500 K indicating that the usual Frank-Read source is not operative at high temperatures due to the strong KW locking.

The crystal structure of the GaN film on the AIN buffer layer grown by R. F sputtering with different thickness has been studied using X-ray scattering and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The interface roughness between the AIN buffer layer and the epitaxial GaN film, due to crossover from planar to island grains, produced edge dislocations. The strain, coming from lattice mismatch between the AIN buffer layer and the epitaxial GaN film, produced screw dislocations. The density of the edge and screw dislocation propagating from the interface between the GaN film and the AIN buffer layer affected the electric resistance of GaN film.
