Popis: Phonon resistance from dislocation scattering is often divided into short-range core interactions and long-range strain field interactions. Using electron energy-loss spectroscopy on a GaN dislocation, we report observations of vibrational modes localized at specific core atoms (short-range) and strain-driven phonon energy shifts around the dislocation (long-range). Ab initio calculations support these findings and draw out additional details. This study reveals atomically resolved vibrational spectra of dislocations, thus offering insights for engineering improved material functionalities.
