The dislocation loop shape in high stress deformed GaAs can be used to obtain information on the relative velocity of individual dislocation segments. It is shown that 30/90 β-dislocations and 90/30 β-dislocations have different velocities. A variety of loop shapes observed can be modelled by focussing on differences in mobility of individual kinks. It is shown that the observation of faulted dipoles is only possible in high stress p-type GaAs in which the screw dislocation segments have appreciable velocity at the low temperatures used during the deformation.
