Abstract
The partial dislocations in wurtzite‐structured GaN are reviewed and new results are presented. A multiplicity of partials is possible depending on stacking fault (SF) type, orientation, and interactions. The partials that delimit the I~1~ intrinsic basal SFs have 5/7, 8, or 12‐atom cores as more probable configurations. The core structures of 90° partial dislocations with 1/6〈20$ \bar 2 $3〉 Burgers vector were studied from high resolution transmission electron microscopy observations in comparison with simulated models obtained from energetic calculations. Two cases were distinguished with one structure involving a 5/7 or 12‐atom ring core and the other an 8‐atom ring core. Another type of partials, in particular dislocations accommodating mirror variants of basal SFs were also studied experimentally. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

## Abstract In the framework of ab‐initio tight‐binding methods, we modelled and studied the atomic and electronic core structures of the **__c__**‐edge basal dislocation in wurtzite GaN. We found this dislocation to have four core configurations displaying 5/8/5‐ or 4/8‐atom rings structures. All
