Dislocations

• J. P. Hirth and J. Lothe, Theory of Dislocations, (Wiley, New York, 1982). This is the "Bible" for research in dislocations. It may be somewhat difficult to read if you do not have background in dislocations.

• D. H. Hull and D. J. Bacon, Introduction to Dislocations, 4th ed. paperback. This book provides a good entry-level introduction to dislocations. It is recommended as a first read if you do not have previous background in dislocations.

• V. V. Bulatov and W. Cai, Computer Simulations of Dislocations (Oxford University Press, 2006). This book provides numerical models and algorithms useful for modeling dislocations at atomistic and continuum level.

Materials Science

• Y.-M. Chiang, W. D. Kingery, D. P. Birnie, Physical Ceramics. This book provides the basic materials science background in ceramics. It is important if your research is in solid oxide fuel cells.
