Semi-Coherent
Schematic showing a Semi-coherent interface: A series of edge dislocations at a spacing of D partially relax the misfit strain at the interface (this can be thought of as the interface breaking up into regions with registry and those with
dislocations)
Semicoherent interfaces have an array of dislocations which partially relax the misfit strains arising from the lattice mismatch across the interface between the two materials
