Materials physics

the lattice vector that closes a circuit drawn around a dislocation, giving the magnitude and direction of the lattice displacement it carries.

In materials physics, Burgers vector refers to the lattice vector that closes a circuit drawn around a dislocation, giving the magnitude and direction of the lattice displacement it carries. This meaning comes from Frank (1951) in The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science.[1]
