The development and distribution of microscopic shear strain have been investigated using high-resolution digital image correlation at the onset of plastic deformation in face-centred cubic CoCrFeNi high entropy al- loys with different grain sizes. Microscopic strain localisation increased with grain size as shown by the presence of planar slip …
Combining spatially resolved X-ray Laue diffraction with atomic-scale simulations, we observe how ion-irradiated tungsten undergoes a series of non-linear structural transformations with increasing irradiation exposure. Nanoscale defect-induced deformations accumulating above 0.02 displacements per atom (dpa) lead to highly fluctuating strains at ~…
