Abstract
The processes by which dislocations in macroscopic-sized crystals of ice multiply under an applied stress have been revealed by synchrotron X-radiation topography. This paper describes two examples in which edge dislocation segments gliding rapidly on non-basal planes generate fresh dislocations on the basal primary slip system. The interpretation is based largely on the principles of cross-glide and the Frank-Read source, but in addition a new mechanism is proposed. This involves the cross-glide of a dislocation that is moving intermittently, and it could in principle apply to materials other than ice.
