Here,　we　investigate　a　new　type　of　kink　structure　that　is　found　at　gamma/gamma＇　interfaces　in　nickel-based　single　crystal　superalloys.　We　studied　these　structures　at　the　atomic　and　elemental　level　using　aberration　corrected　high-angle　annular　dark-field　scanning　transmission　electron　microscopy　(HAADF-STEM).　The　core　of　the　dislocation　absorbs　high-Z　elements　(i.e.,　Co　and　Re)　that　adopt　hexagonal　arrangements,　and　it　extrudes　elements　(i.e.,　Ni　and　Al)　that　adopt　face　centered　cubic　(fcc)　structures.　High-Z　elements　(i.e.,　Ta　and　W)　and　Cr,　which　is　a　low-Z　element,　are　stabilized　in　body　centered　cubic　(bcc)　arrangements;　Cr　tends　to　behave　like　Re.　High-Z　elements,　which　migrate　and　adopt　a　hexagonal　structure,　induce　kink　formation　at　gamma/gamma＇　interfaces.　This　process　must　be　analyzed　to　fully　understand　the　kinetics　and　dynamics　of　creep　in　nickel-based　single　crystal　superalloys.　(C)　2014　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
