Knoop indentation; microhardness; dislocations; partials; anthracene

Knoop microhardness studies were carried out on anthracene single crystals. The hardness vs load plot shows two peaks, one at 5g and another at 17·5 g having hardness values 13·0 kg/mm² and 11·4 kg/mm² respectively. The present observation shows that the$$(20\bar 1)[010]$$ dislocations split into partials.
