Glide dislocations in specimens of single-crystal CdTe, which had been deformed at 200 or 300C were shown, using weak-beam dark-field transmission electron microscopy to be dissociated into two Shockley partials. The partial separation was estimated to correspond to a stacking-fault energy of 10.1mJ/m2. The presence of dissociated dislocations suggested that the dislocations in CdTe were of aB type (glide set).
