Popis: A quantum mechanical treatment of the effects of dislocations on planar channeling of positrons is presented. The effects of anharmonic terms on the positron planar potential are considered in these calculations. The wavefunction of channeled positron in the perfect channel and the two regions of dislocation affected channel are found and compared with harmonic case. The corresponding effects on bound states and the transitions among these states are calculated. The transition probabilities and the resulting dechanneling probabilities are found for initially channelled particles in states |0〉 and |1〉. The calculations are carried out with varying channel distance from the dislocation core. Applications of anharmonic interactions on channeling radiation are also investigated.
