Abstract
Dislocations are line defects in an otherwise perfect crystal. In this chapter the basic geometrical concepts shall be explained, such as the path of the line, the Burgers vector (strength of the dislocation), the relative orientation of these two, possible movements of dislocations and their relations to Moiré patterns. These latter are a convenient means for understanding many of the basic dislocation phenomena.
