A dislon is a quantized field associated with the quantization of the lattice displacement in crystalline solids. It is a localized collective excitation of a crystal dislocation.

Description 
Dislons are special quasiparticles that emerge from the quantization of the lattice displacement field around a dislocation in a crystal. They exhibit unique particle statistics depending on the dimension of quantization. In one-dimensional quantization, dislons behave as bosonic quasiparticles. However, in three-dimensional quantization, the topological constraint of the dislocation leads to a breakdown of the canonical commutation relation, resulting in the emergence of two independent bosonic fields known as the d-field and f-field.

Interaction 
Dislons interact with other particles such as electrons and phonons. In the presence of multiple dislocations, the electron-dislon interaction can affect the electrical conductivity of the system. The distance-dependent interaction between electrons and dislocations leads to oscillations in the electron self-energy away from the dislocation core.

Applications 
The study of dislons provides insights into various phenomena in materials science, including the variation of superconducting transition temperatures in dislocated crystals. Dislons play a role in understanding the interaction between dislocations and phonons, affecting thermal transport properties in the presence of dislocations.
