The phenomenon of screening of the elastic fields of screw dislocations was investigated on the basis of a system of self-consistent field equations for a dislocation ensemble. Expressions were derived for the effective dislocation interaction potential, the screening length and the average elastic field energy that was associated with the interaction of dislocations. An expression was formulated for the correlation dislocation flux in the slightly inhomogeneous case.
