Although the underlying mechanisms in these materials are well explored, in complex metallic alloys--crystalline solids containing up to thousands of atoms per unit cell--the defects and deformation mechanisms remain essentially unknown. Owing to the large lattice parameters of these materials, extended dislocation concepts are required. We investigated a typical complex metallic alloy with 156 atoms per unit cell using atomic-resolution aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy. We found a highly complex deformation mechanism, based on the movement of a dislocation core mediating strain and separate escort defects. On deformation, the escort defects move along with the dislocation core and locally transform the material structure for the latter. This mechanism implies the coordinated movement of hundreds of atoms per elementary glide step, and nevertheless can be described by simple rearrangement of basic structural subunits. 000010980 536__ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK412$$2G:(DE-HGF)$$aGrundlagen für zukünftige Informationstechnologien$$cP42$$x0 000010980 588__ $$aDataset connected to Web of Science, Pubmed 000010980 650_7 $$2WoSType$$aJ 000010980 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)VDB4944$$aHouben, L.$$b1$$uFZJ 000010980 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)130637$$aFeuerbacher, M.$$b2$$uFZJ 000010980 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2088679-2$$a10.1038/nmat2713$$gVol. 9, p. 332 - 336$$p332 - 336$$q9<332 - 336$$tNature materials$$v9$$x1476-1122$$y2010 000010980 8567_ $$uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nmat2713 000010980 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:10980$$pVDB 000010980 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0010$$aJCR/ISI refereed 000010980 9141_ $$y2010 000010980 9131_ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK412$$aDE-HGF$$bSchlüsseltechnologien$$kP42$$lGrundlagen für zukünftige Informationstechnologien (FIT)$$vGrundlagen für zukünftige Informationstechnologien$$x0 000010980 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)VDB788$$d31.12.2010$$gIFF$$kIFF-8$$lMikrostrukturforschung$$x0 000010980 970__ $$aVDB:(DE-Juel1)121707 000010980 980__ $$aVDB 000010980 980__ $$aConvertedRecord 000010980 980__ $$ajournal 000010980 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)PGI-5-20110106 000010980 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000010980 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)ER-C-1-20170209 000010980 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)PGI-5-20110106
