prismatic misfit dislocation loops in hollow core–shell nanoparticles. Based on a strict
solution of the linear elasticity boundary-value problem for a circular prismatic dislocation
loop in a free-surface shell, we examine the loop formation energy in the nanoparticle and
show a potential opportunity to fabricate hollow, coherently bonded, ie dislocation-free, core–
shell nanoparticles by using thin-wall shells with inner-to-outer radii ratio> 0.8 as supporting …
